A rugby match between Science College and St. Thomas’s College yesterday ended in uproar and violence following a contentious refereeing decision. The match, which saw St. Thomas’s College narrowly defeat Science College 30-26, turned chaotic when a crucial try by a Science College player was controversially ruled out by the head referee after consulting with a line judge.
Disputes erupted among spectators as the decision to disallow the try sparked heated protests on the field. In a shocking turn of events, some Science College supporters breached the field, confronting officials and demanding a reconsideration of the ruling. The situation quickly escalated into physical altercations, resulting in injuries to all match referees, who were subsequently hospitalized.
