MONTEGO BAY, St James — Former national goalkeeper and national football coach Warren Barrett is due to return to the Montego Bay Residents Magistrates’ Court tomorrow morning when the court will hear the outcome of mediation into a charge of assault against him.

Barrett was charged in July with assault arising out of an incident during the return leg of a Western Masters League semi-finals against Hanover Masters at Jarrett Park on July 25.

Barrett was charged after he and referee Donat McKenley became involved in a physical confrontation during the half-time break when both men were injured.

Barrett suffered a cut on his nose, while McKenley got a cut on his lips and dislocated fingers on his right hand.

It is understood that Barrett, the player/coach for the Violet Tourers team, the outgoing champions, had protested what they thought was a penalty call early in the second half. When the referee came over to the bench, Barrett encroached on the field and both men got into a fight.

McKenley had made a report to the police after the incident and charges were filed.

Barrett and another teammate Phillip Wong were banned for five years and fined $25,000 for their part in the fracas.
