QUARRELSOME ENDING
UPHEAVAL AT SOCCER MATCH,
WOMEN TAKE A HAND.
(Per Press Association —Copyright.)
CHRISTCHURCH, This Day.
Excitement reigned at Spreydon Park at the conclusion of the Nomads v. Thistle senior Soccer match. As the referee’s final whistle went, a Nomads player ran directly for a Thistle man, his intention evidently being to cary out a threat he had made during the game to “clean him up. ’ ’
The- spectators also rushed the field, gesticulating loudly, but blows were prevented by players on each side seizing the two men and marching them by force off the field. As they left a number of women spectators commenced to thrash the matter out and in a few seconds all material was available for a fight. However, some men managed to persuade the women to depart. The final episode was that one of the women stopped the referee to give him her idea of his capabilities, lie left her before she could tell him all she wanted to.
