The Jennings Ribblesdale League are set to take disciplinary action
against Baxenden batsman Mark Rishton after he turned up for their
game against Barnoldswick on Saturday 'under the influence of
alcohol'.
League secretary Rod Slater confirmed he has received a letter from
the club confirming their suspension of the player for two matches
following his behaviour. And League officials are now awaiting
reports off the umpires before deciding what steps to take next.
"I've received a letter from Baxenden Cricket Club informing me of
what action they've taken and now we are waiting for a report off the
umpires," said Slater.
"But I anticipate the League will be looking at it."
