- Neil Arton found guilty of conduct prejudicial to game
- Independent panel declares incident ‘very serious’
The president of Bridlington RUFC has been banned for three years after he was charged with “repeatedly pulling a female employee’s bra, causing it to become undone in front of other members of the club” at a fundraising event.
Neil Arton was found guilty of conduct prejudicial to the game by an independent panel at a Rugby Football Union disciplinary hearing in July. The panel banned Arton from “attending or being a member of any RFU-affiliated rugby club” for three years, one suspended, and ordered him to pay £125 in costs.
