Team bus stoned in ‘racist’ attack
MEMBERS of a Cumbrian rugby league club claim they were the victims of a racist attack when their bus was attacked by yobs.
Players from the Millom club were returning home after beating Saddleworth Rangers 40-34 when they say a brick was hurled through a window.
Nobody was injured during the incident, but the team believe it was racially motivated.
Peter Evans (65), a Millom committee member, said: “We had pulled up near a shop to get some beer for the journey home and saw an Asian lad speaking on his phone.
“A few minutes later around 20 Asian men turned up and, as we were about to leave, someone threw a brick through a bus window.”
Mr Evans said: “I don’t believe the attack was related to the rugby result in any way because we had left Saddleworth and were in a completely different area.”
The incident was not reported to the police because the team did not know which area of Oldham they were in.
The alleged incident happened at 6pm on Saturday, September 11.
