A disgraceful incident occurred at Shannon on Saturday during a junior football match between Levin Rovers and Shannon. Mr Claridge, the referee, ordered a local player off for obscene language. His action was resented by the home team and spectators, who closed round the referee and assaulted him, rendering him unconscious and breaking his jaw. Mr Claridge was removed to the Palmerston Hospital. Charges of obscene language and assault are to be laid against four Shannon players.
