Cleveland County Bans Jason Anderson For Life
Following the altercation at the Champion of Champions cricket match, Cleveland County Cricket Club announced that Jason Anderson is banned from representing the club in all sporting activities for life.
Cleveland President Carlton Smith Jr. said, “Cleveland County Cricket Club [CCCC] would like to announce that as a result of the incident at the recent Champions of Champions final, Mr. Jason Anderson is hereby banned from representing the club in all sporting activities for life.
“The executive and members of CCCC do not condone the behaviour of Mr. Anderson. We view these matters seriously and as a community club this is not the type of behaviour that we expect from members of the club, nor the example that we would like to set for our junior players.
“The Club would like to thank Mr. Anderson for his contributions to the success the club has experienced over the last few years as he has been an integral part of that success. We urge Mr. Anderson to seek assistance for his anger issues and the club is willing to help him with these efforts, if he is willing.
“We would like to apologize to the general public for the scenes witnessed during the Champions of Champions final, as this is not the image that Cleveland County Cricket Club wish to portray.”
Great way to set the tone for the future! Moving forward, this type of ban will be on the back of the minds of all players, not just in cricket.
Cleveland County has send a strong message that they will not tolerate such behaviours. Postive step forward Cleveland.
I look foward to all Workmen clubs working towards putting a comprehensive program in place to address the concerns of our young men.
Moving forward I wish Cleveland best of luck. This is a very strong message to our young people and players.
Calling all men in the community to be mentors to our young people and give back to our communities.
BERMUDA cricket is no longer a gentleman’s game.
Well done Cleveland
Seems like a fair statement to me. Let’s see what the BCB have to say.
it takes two so why one both were out of order bottom line only in the bda
Cleveland can’t discipline the Willow Cuts player, they can only deal with their own.
And O’Brien doesnt play for Willow Cuts either! He was their guest batsman for the day.
That’s true, although they could ban him from future guest player duty. Don’t know if O’Brien’s club team is considering anything on their end.
Cleveland cannot ban a player that does not represent the club.
Well fill us in larry.
I don’t follow.
Who does he play for.
BAA?
O’Brian plays for St. Georges
George O’Brien plays for St. Davids.
I don’t know if you’re being genuine with your comment but I balled out loud when I read it…still chuckling actually.
He threw first blow that’s why, the other guy was defending himself.
Defending yourself with a cricket bat?? Not appropriate!
So if a guy is working and has a piece of wood in his hand and a guy attacks him, do you think he will rest the wood down and defend himself?
the one CCCC “GOT RID OFF” was from their club.. the other guy, his club needs to do the same, they BOTH have the same attitude problem.
Good call Carlton Smith Jr.
Boom. Decisive. Now if only we can get our politics to do the same.
Well if their setting everything straight again….give Bay the EC trophy since they deserve it!
So you sound like a Bay fan. Better luck next year. If you outright won then you would have cup. It’s time to get over it. See ECCA executives about your problem. Well done for your stand CCCC.
Since BBCC want to set things straight why not give the Junior County cup to Cleveland since Bay forfeited ? Instead of saying it can’t be found but it’s displayed in your bar. Hmmnnn??? Then all will be right would you agree? Before you assume, I am for neither team. Mostly I am for cricket.
I say what a childish way to set a example for your youth team BBCC. its only teaching them how to be sore losers,
most likely the youths know each other outside of cricket.
Just remember they only learn what they see.
Welldone Cleveland but I believe both should be held accountable, not just Mr. Anderson. The video shows the other one with the bat in his hand getting ready to hit either Anderson or someone else.
You are not understanding, Cleveland can only deal with Anderson.
Well done Cleveland on your no Tolerance Approach to this situation!
Ok now Cleveland stepped up and showed no tolerance for such horrible behavior…now will BCB do the same? It would be appreciated if they did the same…as spectators like to go out to these games and we want to enjoy a safe and good game of cricket.
The right decision. Now no backtracking please.
Such as EccA likes to do !
I have a question.
I know in some private clubs, life can be 2 years to a new committee. So when a new committee comes into power does he have the right to appeal his ban?
Kudos to CCCC, but nothing to stop the player from simply taking him and his bad behavior to another club. Where is the BCB?
May be he’ll get picked up by Willow Cuts?
A foregone conclusion anything else would have been rediculous.
I doubt if any other club will take him. They dont want to be subjected to all that. Well done Cleveland.
hand to bat ! I don’t know bout that he lucky he missed no justice here
Excellent stand Mr. smith… However, It would have been just as responsible of your establishment to have taken the same stand a few months ago after the “ugly scenes” at county cup… Again, this is an excellent decision….kudos
Club is a joke. They were fine with how they acted first county game but now they making themselves out like they are some humble club.be foreal.
sore loser ???
Bla bla bla bla bla. Bay fans don’t get tired. Ok so humble means telling your jr. team not to show up. Take off your bib, pacifier and pull-ups . Grow up BBC!!! Cry babies!!
Nah truth teller. We all know how that went down. Way to set an example for the youth right lol. Maybe people like you are just a dopey as the team

Is there a local boxing commission?
With openings?
Or he could start his own.
One door closes… Another—
