    Police are investigating an alleged assault on a rugby ref at a senior club game in Ashburton on Saturday

    Police are investigating an alleged assault on a rugby ref at a senior club game in Ashburton on Saturday

    - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

    Local media say a coach stormed on the field and struck the referee - then assaulted players trying to intervene.

    It was reportedly in the dying moments of the Hampstead - Celtic senior B semifinal.

    Mid Canterbury Rugby Union chief executive, Tanya Dearns, says there's no place for violence at any level in the game - and a judicial review's under way.

    Police say enquiries are ongoing.
