Violence erupted amid ugly scenes during the big Championship clash between Bargoed and Pontypool at the weekend. It resulted in a player from either side being sent off, with the whole bizarre episode having been captured on video.
The incident happened 57 minutes into the game at Bargoed Park. After a flare-up following a powerful scrum shove from the home side, Pontypool tight head prop Scott Evans and Bargoed back five forward Louis Blacker were yellow carded by referee Ian Davies. However, as they were walking off, the pair squared up to each other and then began fighting.
That prompted a mass dust-up, with players from both sides rushing in and a couple of scuffles breaking out. The highly experienced Davies swiftly made his decision, issuing red cards to both Evans and Blacker.
