Rangers pair face 12-month ban

Southampton Rangers duo Rickai Swan and Malachai Darrell were both banned from domestic football for 12 months after Bermuda Football Association's (BFA) disciplinary committee last week handed down rulings for a number of players facing charges.

The Rangers pair were involved in a fracas in the BFA's Player Development League (PDL) last October against Boulevard at Southampton Oval in which bottles and other objects were hurled at Blazers players as they made their way out of the stadium.

The players were charged with behaviour designed to bring the game into disrepute.

Also facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines will be Vance Hill who was charged with three offences after BAA's clash with Robin Hood in December – behaviour designed to bring game into disrepute, foul and abusive language and threatening behaviour towards the referee.

The BAA striker received a ten-match ban for the foul and abusive language (eight matches) and the threatening behaviour towards the referee (two matches).

Devonshire Cougars pair Ricardo Brangman jr. and Jessie Seymour, and Southampton Rangers skipper Kamen Tucker were also suspended for their involvement in incidents.

Tucker and Seymour were both answering charges which resulted from incidents which occurred in the same match. Both were accused of head butting while Tucker answered a charge of deliberately kicking an opponent.

The pair were given probation for six months to go along with their one-match suspensions.

Brangman was given two matches and a 12-month probation for behaviour designed to bring game into disrepute, and foul and abusive language towards the referee in his side's match against Boulevard in September.

Somerset Trojans midfielder Zahkie Iris was found guilty of behaviour designed to bring the game into disrepute and assaulting a player by using clenched fists to punch him and attempting to head butt the same player before he was restrained by team-mates.

The committee gave Iris a two-match suspension and probation for 12 months.
