If true, it's a shame because queens obviously had a good chance of turning over a pro side here,i've seen them a few times this season and they are a cracking side, especially away from home

If the queens fans were fighting in the crowd, were there any fatalities?

The Dons challenge cup game against Queens ARLFC was called off this afternoon due to crowd trouble. Dons CEO Dave Marshall said, "Today was a sad day for the club and the sport. The whole club is disgusted about the behaviour of a certain section of the crowd. Rugby League and the Dons prides itself on being a family sport and we will not stand for this."

Match and incident reports and videos will now be sent to the RFL and the Police. The Dons will comment no further on today's incident until we have received feedback from all parties on this.

There's a right rough mining village just outside Donny that I played a few games for back in 2001.

It wouldnt surprise me if they were involved in the fighting as they've had some right battles with Queens in the past.
