Two Gungahlin United players have been charged with violent conduct stemming from a fiery incident in a match with the Cooma Tigers at Hawker last Saturday night.
A Cooma player has also been cited for his role in the altercation, while another who was sent off for a second yellow card hasn't incurred further penalty.
Cooma is also appealing the severity of sentences proposed to a spectator who got involved and also to the club for bringing the game into disrepute.
Both clubs will have their appeals heard by a tribunal on Wednesday night after electing not to accept the proposed suspension.
Four players were sent off - one which was for a second yellow card - in the game, that finished in a 4-all draw.
Two spectators were also sanctioned, with the possibility of more charges being laid depending on the feedback of the clubs.
The clubs have been handed suspended fines. The fines will only be enforced if the clubs are found guilty of another infringement during the rest of the season.
Capital Football declined to disclose the amount of the suspended fines or name the players or spectators who have been charged.
