A football match raising money for the orphaned children of a former police inspector was abandoned after a mass brawl broke out.
Good god!
The Melton Charity Cup Final between Holwell Sports and Thurmaston Town was halted four minutes from time when violence erupted involving the teams and supporters.
The fight was witnessed by 14-year-old Adam Day, who had been invited to the game to present the cup.
How disgraceful! Was the police officer killed in the line of duty, or..?
Adam's father, former inspector Toby Day, 37, is believed to have stabbed his 38-year-old wife Samantha and six-year-old daughter Genevieve to death, before turning the knife on himself. Adam and his 16-year-old sister Kimberley survived the attack at their Melton home in December.
Oh. Right. I
remember it now.

Some regard for the young innocents checks my impulse to shred this one, Julia.
What a pity the same regard didn't curb the players' and supporters' instinct to act like hooligans...
Oh good, it only took the death of three people for Melvin to holster his thesaurus.
Can't make this story out.Even reading through the comments it doesn't say if the teams playing were police or not.Or if the people fighting in the crowd were police.
Let's assume they were to keep MTG happy.

I hope not. I really do.

"Can't make this story out"
The neo-literate vocabulary can extend to several thousand words, being sufficient for the comprehension of articles written specifically for that range. Have you tried the Illustrated News, my dear?
Look the thesaurus is back.
MTG i'm not very clever and the radiator i'm hugging is addling my brain.Please explain to me in words of one syllable the sub-text behind this story.
