An investigation has been launched into ugly scenes at the end of an amateur rugby league final in Featherstone.<\/p>\n

Fighting broke out in the main stand after Ince Rose Bridge, from Wigan, beat Stanningley 18-14 in the National Conference Division One promotion decider at Millennium Stadium, Post Office Road.<\/p>\n

Players from both sides allegedly became involved in the \u2018skirmish\u2019 following the final whistle.<\/p>\n

National Conference administrator Alan Smith said: \u201cThe NCL management will carry out a full investigation into the fighting which took place at the end of the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere will be no further comment until the investigation, and any disciplinary proceedings are completed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Casey Shaw scored the winning try for Bridge inside the final 10 minutes, after Stanningley had led 14-12.<\/p>\n

Callum Hughes crossed twice for Ince and TJ Boyd was their other try scorer. Mason Fillingham kicked their goal.<\/p>\n

Jack Vincent and Jeremy Wiscombe scored Stanningley\u2019s tries and Adam Butterill booted three goals.<\/p>\n

In the other game played at Post Office Road on Saturday afternoon, West Hull beat Siddal, who are coached by Leeds Rhinos star Jake Connor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That game saw West Hull crowned NCL champions with the 8-0 win enough to secure them that title for the first time since 2019.<\/p>\n
