Awesome...I'm sorry I didn't see this one sooner. I've often gotten the feeling that I was in the middle of officiating a match like this whether it was an adult or U-10. Ps...you should post this somewhere in the Referee Forum.
Similar game as the original "Derby match". They don't tell you how many deaths occurred though. Look up Derby match in a search engine and they'll give you a story that it's related to the Epsom Derby a bloody horse race. That is total bollocks.
