Mark Neill from Aston Clinton FC attended a meeting with the Committee with view to a proposed return to football in the ADL following a suspension imposed by the League. This followed an incident in a league match in January 2011. He was represented by other officials of the club.
Mark Neill said he had not realised the seriousness of the incident and that it was totally out of character. He had to face disciplinary action at work where he is employed by RAF High Wycombe and he was also banned from Aston Clinton FC . He felt he had served his punishment and was ready to return to football.
After discussing the matter the Committee agreed to allow Mark Neill to sign on for Aston Clinton but he was told in no uncertain terms that a reoccurrence of such an incident would result in a life ban. |
