Club:

Cockburn

Advocate's name:

Matt Watson

PENALTY

Report:

The above named players were reported by Armadale Cricket Club for threatening and intimidating behaviour towards Armadale players Kodie McKrill and Jeff Petrie.

Tribunal notes:

Player McKrill took a catch on the boundary in front of the Cockburn pavilion which Cockburn players and supports believed was outside the boundary and should have been a six. In was clear to the Panel that a level of abuse had been directed at Mr McKrill which was finally resolved when the umpire approached and asked for the comments to cease. It was not possible for the Panel to determine that the players charged were involved in the threatening behaviour.

Penalty:

The players reported by Armadale CC were found not guilty. However, the Panel expressed concern with the behaviour of the Cockburn players and supporters for the unsporting behaviour in this matter and reminded all clubs they have an obligation under the code of conduct to ensure their players and supporters do not engage in this type of behaviour.
