Cayman Islands Little league issue statement regarding brawl

Barnes-WS-2-From Cayman Islands Little League Association

The board of Cayman Islands Little League Association is investigating an altercation that took place Oct. 6 at the Field of Dreams in conjunction with a game in the adult coed league. Police were called and quickly responded. There was no arrests made nor medical attention sought.

The association’s adult coed program has been running for 15 years and several hundred games take place annually. This is the first time that the board is aware that the police have had to respond to an on-the-field altercation.

Cayman Little League’s Field of Dreams is a privately owned facility that is governed by the association, which will take the appropriate steps to ensure the safety of all participants using the facility.

The incident arose out of a dispute from differing opinions on the time allotted for the game and what was deemed to be the final out.

The dispute took a violent turn from the verbal outpouring when players started fighting including a spectator – a mother of one of the players.

The police were called nut we have received no report from them concerning the incident.

It would seem no arrests were made and no injuries suffered by the brawlers.

The Little League Association also announced the postponement of their Annual General Meeting that had been scheduled for Wednesday (8).
