AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> Kabras Sugar winger Derrick Ashiundu has been handed a nine-week ban for recklessly tackling a player whose feet were off the ground, under World Rugby Laws of the Game.<\/p>\n

World Rugby Laws of the Game 9.12 states, that a player must not physically abuse anyone.<\/p>\n

Physical abuse includes, but is not limited to: biting, intentional contact with eye (s), reckless contact with eye (s), contact with eye area, punching or striking with hand or arm (including stiff-arm tackle), striking below the elbow, striking with the shoulder, striking with the head, striking with the knee, stamping or trampling, tripping, kicking.<\/p>\n

The ban will see Ashiundu miss up to nine matches following his red card against Kenya Harlequins last weekend.<\/p>\n

Ashiundu was issued with marching orders in the opening minutes of the clash against Quins after his tackle on Boniface Ochieng.<\/p>\n

According to the judicial report, the tackle was reckless as the opponent landed on his head hence a 10-week ban which was reduced by one week.<\/p>\n

The player is expected to return to action on May 29th when the Kenya Cup season will entering the semi-final stage.<\/p>\n

The winger has 48 hours to appeal the decision by the Judicial Committee chaired by Duncan Ndegwa.<\/p>\n

Ashiundu has had an impressive stay at Kabras earning a start in each of the sugarmen\u2019s matches played this season and has scored two tries.<\/p>\n

He joined Kabras in November last year after completing a move from former Kenya Cup side Western Bulls.<\/p>\n

Kabras Sugar management has since appealed the ban and are awaiting feedback.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Kenya Cup has also reported that Blak Blad\u2019s Brian Songoi will serve a six-week ban following his red card during the 32-19 loss to KCB last weekend.<\/p>\n

The judicial report states he struck KCB number 12 with a straight arm in the neck which was reckless. He was also found guilty of punching the KCB\u2019s 12 on the head.<\/p>\n

Songoi was charged and his sanction takes place with immediate effect and runs until 2 May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
