Match abandoned due to streaking students
A referee of a Dutch ladies match abandoned a match due to streaking students. The referee had to stop the match Knickerbockers 2 – Oranje Nassau 2 three times because naked students walked on the pitch. He also had to stop play because there came a drummer on the pitch.
The streaking persons all were members of a student club nearby called Forward. They thought it would be fun to run around naked and disturb the match a few times. After three times it was enough for the referee and he blew his whistle for the end of the game.
A local online news website, the Groninger Internet Courant, has seen the referees reply on his Facebook page about the match: “I thought I had experienced as a referee, but I didn’t expect this today, during my first women’s match.”
