BROMSGROVE RFC's Carl Bradley and Steve Phillips face bans after being sent off in separate incidents during last Saturday's First XV game against Whitchurch at Finstall Park.

Bradley, making his debut, was dismissed following a mass brawl between the two sets of players. That incident also saw the experienced Phillips given a yellow card and he was later sent off, via a second yellow, for a bad tackle.

The pair will meet with club officials this week to decide on any action but automatically face a Rugby Football Union disciplinary hearing.

The RFU's North Midlands disciplinary committee meets once a month and Bradley and Phillips could be summoned next month.

Coach David Stout said: "From the club's point of view, we will decide whether there's any need to impose an immediate ban.

"I expect the players to be physical and not to take a backward step. We expect them to control their discipline."

Under Rugby Football Union rules, the players are still free to play for Bromsgrove until their hearing and will then serve any subsequent ban, if any is imposed.

Bromsgrove entertain Camp Hill in the Powergen Intermediate Cup Second Round this Saturday (2.45pm).
