Fans invade pitch to fight with bat and stumps as cricket match turns into brawl
A cricket match was stopped mid-play when two warring spectators invaded the pitch and squared up to each other.
The bizarre mini brawl happened as Connah's Quay took on local rivals Ruthin. Shocking footage shows a man sprinting onto the wicket before pulling up one of the stumps and turning with it to face his pursuer.
The chaser, wielding a bat and followed by a dog, follows the first man on to the wicket as bemused players look on. Both men appear to threaten one another before eventually leaving the field hurling insults.
It happened in Deeside, north Wales, on Saturday (July 20), as reported by NeedToKnow. Police have launched an investigation.
A spokesman for Connah's Quay Cricket Club said: "There was an incident and we are appalled at the actions of the individuals responsible. They are not club members nor do we know who they are.
