FORMER New Milton skipper James Park, pictured, has been handed a mammoth eight-match ban after falling foul of Southern Premier Cricket League rules for the second time this season.
Park, no longer part of the set-up at Fernhill, has been punished for “multiple breaches and serious failings in his responsibilities as captain” during a Premier Division fixture against visitors Burridge at the end of last month.
The severity of the ban was reflective of Park’s position as captain and also having already been in hot water following the heated derby clash with Bashley (Rydal) in May.
On that occasion, he earned a three-match ban for “dissent and failing in his responsibility as captain”, according to the league.
His eight-match ban is the second highest ever imposed by the SPL behind the nine game suspension handed out to Havant’s Ben Walker several seasons ago.
Milton’s James Haggaty and Nick Park were given three and one-match suspensions, respectively, following the May fixture.
And like James Park, the duo were also slapped with fresh bans for their actions during July’s fixture against Burridge.
Haggaty was banned by five matches, with two suspended, “for swearing at an opponent and it being a second offence during the season”. He could still appeal the decision.
Nick Park was suspended for two matches, which he has already served, “for dissent and it being a second offence during the season”.
