The First Division football match between Hamilton Parish and Devonshire Colts was abandoned yesterday after a female referee's assistant was threatened.According to one player “all hell broke loose” with skirmishes between players, fans and officials.With the game delicately poised at 3-3 heading into the final ten minutes, it spiralled into an ugly fracas after an incident involving a Parish player and lineswoman Wendy Woodley who was allegedly abused.According to reports, the player was attempting to take a corner and asked Woodley for more space to kick the ball, which she refused. That resulted in an argument with fans and players becoming involved.Referee Robert Hudson apparently tried to calm things down in order for the match to be resumed but before he could do so, pushing and shoving ensued.One Parish player, who asked not to be named, said Woodley was pushed and targetted by a ball which was kicked at her.Woodley's daughter, who was the other referee's assistant on the other side of the pitch, also became involved as she attempted to protect her mother, using her flag to wave away the angry players.“The whole situation was really out of control, I wasn't involved in the match but could see what was going on and in the end it is a shame that the match had to be stopped because it was poised on a knife edge,” said the Parish player.A Bermuda Football Association spokesperson said the governing body were awaiting an official report from the referee and match commissioner before commenting on the incident.
