Western Stars Sports Club president Wayne Campbell confirmed yesterday that a fight allegedly involving one of his players during this month’s Dudley Eve semi -final has been “dealt with” internally.However, the former policeman stressed that his club will not divulge what kind of action they have taken against Dandy Town striker Temiko Wilson until the latter’s court proceedings have concluded.“The club has already dealt with it but we are not going to give a full statement until this mattered is dealt with in the court,” Campbell told The Royal Gazette.Wilson, who was not included in Hornets’ line up for last weekend’s Premier clash against North Village, is among three men charged in Magistrates’ Court in connection with the fight that occurred during the November 4 Dudley Eve semi-final between Somerset Trojans and St George’s Colts at St David’s County Cricket Club. The clubhouse incident left a 28-year old man injured.The 24-year old footballer, who transfered to Hornets from Boulevard at the end of last season, denied the charge before Senior Magistrate Archibald Warner and has been released on $2,000 bail with one surety.Police are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the incident to contact the St George’s CID at 293-2222 or Crime Stoppers at 800-8477.The fight that marred the Dudley Eve semi-finals is the latest to tarnish local football this season.In September a First Division match involving hosts Devonshire Colts and Hamilton Parish had to be abandoned after tempers boiled over and a brawl ensued at Police Field.In the aftermath of that incident female football official Wendy Woodley and her daughter Precious Smith and Parish players Anthony Smith, Kia Darrell and Ian Coke were all found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute by Bermuda Football Association’s disciplinary committee.Woodley was found guilty of assault and foul language and banned from officiating in four First Division matches and placed on six months probation while her daughter was found guilty of assault and banned from officiating in six First Division matches and placed on one-year probation.Parish defender Anthony Smith, who was already on probation at the time of the incident, won’t play again this season and been placed on a further six months probation to run consecutive to his current probation period.Midfielder Darrell was found guilty of assaulting a match official and using foul language and banned for six matches and placed on six months probation while striker Coke received a four-game ban for assaulting (shoving) a match official and using foul language.The controversial September 30 match, that was tied at 3-3 when it was abandoned, descended into chaos after Woodley allegedly refused to give a Parish player more room to take a corner kick.
