A junior rugby league player from the Beacon Hill Bears has been hit with a 15 year ban for his role in the disgraceful brawl that marred the end of an under 17 grand final against Avalon last Sunday,

Two of his teammates were also suspended for periods of eight and seven years.

They were all found guilty of Code of Conduct breaches following the game at Brookvale Oval which one witness described as “just thuggery.”

“Incidents like these need to be eradicated from our game,” said CEO of the NSW Rugby League Dave Trodden.

“Junior sport is to be enjoyed by its young participants, not spoilt by inappropriate behaviour

“If there is even just one incident of this type, then it is one too many.

“Our sport does not and will not tolerate it.”

In the aftermath of the game, which was won by Avalon at the death 21-20, twelve players from Beacon Hill and two from Avalon were cited after video of the ugly fight was examined.

Players received suspension ranging from one match to the 15 years on low, medium and high grade charges for breaches of the Code of Conduct.

The penalties followed a marathon NSW Rugby League judiciary hearing on Thursday night and the players were informed by e-mail on Friday.

Two Beacon Hill players had their cases adjourned.

The suspended players are not permitted to participate in any organised rugby league competition or activity, including school football, gala days, developments squads, and tournaments in any capacity including as a coach, first aid officer, referee or touch judge.

“The Avalon Bulldogs Junior Rugby League pleaded guilty to a breach of the Code of Conduct and were ordered to pay a $1500 bond and agree to implement strategies at club level to raise awareness of the National Code of Conduct throughout the Club,” the NSW Rugby League said in a statement

A penalty for the Beacon Hill Bears club is yet to be determined.
