Moment fed-up spectator trips up flying rugby player in bid to stop junior team conceding another try during 64-5 thrashing

 A father watching his team lose heavily in a teenage rugby cup final in Hertfordshire was caught deliberately tripping a opposition player.

The referee of the Hertfordshire Shield cup final had to intervene and then sent the spectator off from the side of the pitch and halted the match 10 minutes before the end of the game.

Despite the incident the Royston Rugby Club U16 team was awarded a 64-5 victory against neighbouring rivals, Fullerians.

Outraged parents and players condemned the father, believed to be a parent of one of the boys playing, who has since been disciplined by the Fullerians club.

Jonathan Robson wrote on Twitter: 'Royston U16 won despite this idiot at Fullerians, how can somones (sic) dad do this'

Royston Rugby Club president Jamie Johnson said he had next heard of such an 'extraordinary' incident during a youth match.

'There is now an investigation taking place within their club and we will also be putting forward our own statement,' the president said.
