A cricket match was stopped mid-play when two warring spectators invaded the pitch and squared up to each other.
The bizarre mini brawl happened as Connah’s Quay took on local rivals Ruthin.
Shocking footage shows a man sprinting onto the wicket before pulling up one of the stumps and turning with it to face his pursuer.
The chaser, wielding a bat and followed by a dog, follows the first man on to the wicket as bemused players look on.
Both men appear to threaten one another before eventually leaving the field hurling insults.
It happened, in Deeside, north Wales, on Saturday (20 Jul), as reported by Need To Know.
Police have launched an investigation.
A spokesman for Connah’s Quay Cricket Club said: “There was an incident and we are appalled at the actions of the individuals responsible.
“They are not club members nor do we know who they are.
“We absolutely condemn this behaviour.
“However this will not take away from the positive influence that we have with our community with our thriving junior section.
“The support that we offer to our affiliated charities and friends in other sports clubs in the area.”
A North Wales Police spokesperson said: “We were made aware of an isolated incident at the Connah’s Quay Cricket Club on Saturday, July 20..
“An investigation is underway and anyone with information is asked to contact us via the website, or by calling 101, using reference number 24000632886.”
