Six red cards in the same Peterborough Youth League match after a ‘mass brawl’
Referee Paul Gregory sent off six players in the Peterborough & District Youth League Under 18 Division One match between Oundle Town and Deeping United yesterday (November 1).
Oundle finished with seven players after Thomas Clarke-Knowles, Myles Hamilton, Louis Howe and Tyler Francis were dismissed. Archie Rickards and Oliver Tooth saw red for Deeping. Five players were sent off following what was described to the Peterborough Telegraph as ‘something like a mass brawl’ on the hour mark.
The incident occurred at a time when poor behaviour on and off the pitch in junior football has been in the spotlight
Rickards and Harvey Henderson (2) scored for Deeping United who were leading the match 3-2 when the game was abandoned 15 minutes from full-time following the sixth red card.
