The British Amateur Rugby League Association is to investigate an ill- tempered Yorkshire Cup final between Siddal and Featherstone Lions at Halifax in which four players were sent off, three others sent to the sin-bin and two women spectators involved in a fight. Sunday's match, won 9-6 by Featherstone, boiled over as early as the first minute when the Siddal player-coach Andy Hancock, one of four players eventually dismissed, went to the sin-bin following a midfield melee.
