David Wolff says the players involved in running battles in last weekend’s match between Temple Fortune A and UJIA have brought shame on to the Maccabi League.

Referee Nigel Burns issued four red cards and was forced to abandon the game in Edgware after a mass brawl broke out in an ill-tempered affair.

Security guards at Barnet FC’s training ground in Edgware came on to the pitch to restore order amid chaotic scenes.

League chairman David Wolff said: "What happened on Sunday is just pathetic. I hope the players involved receive very long bans. These players are harming the league, the Jewish community, themselves and their families. They are a disgrace."
