POLICE were called to an under-10s football match after a brawl broke out between parents in the stands.
The shameful violence flared when two rival players clashed on the pitch.
Videos showed parents trading blows and pushing each other.
Trouble then spilled on to the pitch as a man and a woman jumped from the stands to confront an official.
Coaches had to usher the terrified nine-year-old players away as others tried to break up the brawl. The match was abandoned.
