Rugby Match Drama: Teen Hospitalised After Spectators Clash
Chaos erupted during a rugby face-off between Warrington Wolves and Widnes Vikings at the Halliwell Jones Stadium. As tensions flared near the match’s end, emotions spilled over from the stands onto the pitch. Widnes fans stormed the field, heading straight for the Warrington supporters, while stewards scrambled to keep the peace. Pint glasses flew, and families with young children made a hasty retreat as the game was briefly halted for safety.
