Kidlington chairman Nick Duval will appear before a Cherwell League disciplinary panel tomorrow night charged with verbally abusing and intimidating a 13-year-old opponent.
Duval and Kidlington 4th captain Gareth Ellis have been charged under the league's code of conduct following an incident in their match against Oxford 5th on June 7.
The minutes of the league's last executive meeting read: "The Secretary has received a complaint from the father of a 13-year-old boy who played in the match between Oxford 5th and Kidlington 4th on 7 June 2008.
"The complaint alleges that a senior Kidlington CC official who was playing in the game used foul and abusive language against the boy and also intimidated him.
"In accordance with the Code of Conduct, the matter was reported to the League Chairman, who, after reviewing the evidence, decided to hold a disciplinary hearing.
"The player involved and the captain of Kidlington's fourth team have been informed that the captain will be charged under item 1.1.2 and the player under 1.1.4. and 1.1.5 of the code of conduct."
Duval admitted to being the senior official, although he wasn't named in the minutes.
