Peace broke out in the Bermudian soccer world last night as club affiliates agreed to complete the scheduled season.

The Bermuda Football Association executive emerged from three hours of talks with the affiliates at a special council meeting at Devonshire Rec to announce that they had agreed to play the remaining games in a truncated season.

And BFA president Neville Tyrrell revealed that players would be given a voice in the game as part of a "football forum'' -- a new committee to be established as early as next month dealing with a variety of footballing issues.

The special meeting had been called after the game descended into chaos almost two weeks ago when the BFA executive cancelled a round of fixtures to give clubs the time to reflect on the escalating violence within the game.

Matters were brought to a head when Boulevard's Haile Outerbridge threw a bottle at referee Anthony Mouchette during the FA Cup semi-final against Devonshire Colts. Mouchette subsequently abandoned the clash with Colts leading 2-0 and Boulevard banned the player for two years.

That was the last in a series of incidents which included the attack on grounded Vasco player Dwight Basden by Devonshire Cougars' players Ryan and Wendell Swan, both of whom received lengthy bans.

A number of clubs, however, were unhappy that they had not been consulted about the executive's decision and Boulevard responded by boycotting two matches in three days, both against Vasco, one in the Friendship Trophy and one in the league.

Two other teams, Hamilton Parish and Devonshire Cougars, united with Boulevard's stand by calling off their First Division fixture on Thursday five minutes before the kick-off and at the weekend the match between Devonshire Colts and Wolves had to be abandoned two thirds of the way through when Wolves were reduced to six men -- fewer than the required number.

But last night Tyrrell said: "Our season will run its course. The BFA executive challenged the clubs to get the season back on track.

"It was a positive meeting and we have a unified front. First of all, the clubs shared the feelings that went into the cancellation of the games, but there were mixed views on why it was done and the effect it had.

"In the end the sticking point was that they were not consulted and they felt they needed to be consulted. But I believe that the constitution speaks to our position.'' He added that the planned football forum would help give players a say in the game and more detailed information about what goes on at the administrative level.

"Sometimes information does not get filtered down to that level,'' he said.

"When I played football I just did what the coach told me to do. Players these days have the impression that the BFA has tons of money and wonder why they're not putting it to better use. But it doesn't.'' Meanwhile, rulings on the boycotted games and the FA Cup semi-final were promised by the BFA by Friday.
