Violent brawl sours cup semi-final victory

With videos of rival Featherstone and Widnes fans going viral for all the wrong reasons, Featherstone Rovers have refused to comment, Yorkshire Live has revealed.

Both sides went head-to-head in a bitterly fought 1895 Cup semi-final with Featherstone eventually running out 24-18 winners.

However, that victory was tainted when opposing fans clashed outside the stadium, with cars and other property said to have been damaged too.

Rovers have refused to comment because the skirmishes did not occur within the Millennium Stadium.
