Fisticuffs at the Match.

An extract from the report of the Gloucester v Cinderford match played at Kingsholm on Saturday 3 Feb 1923.

“The unfortunate scrap just before the end was the result of several threatening movements made by [Cinderford player] early on. When at last he really set on Millington, Ayliffe and Voyce went to the stand-off half’s assistance, and other visiting players joining in there was quite a tussle. After the teams had retired there was a scrap amongst the supporters. . .”
