Group 6 has sent a clear message that violence won’t be tolerated by revoking the club’s senior affiliation for their involvement in two fights during the reserve grade grand final against Mittagong Lions.

Oran Park/Gregory Hills led 36-10 with about 10 minutes remaining when a melee broke out between players at Campbelltown Sports Stadium.

Play resumed but the game was abandoned minutes later due to all-in brawl. Some players allegedly ran from the bench to throw punches.

The reserve grade awards presentation was cancelled on Sunday and the Chargers were stripped of their premiership prize money.

Group 6 executive officer Stephen Hazelton said the group would review both incidents at a judiciary hearing in early October.

“We will review CCTV footage from the stadium and gather all evidence,” he said.

“We won’t tolerate violent behaviour and this is not the brand of football that we want in our competition.”

The Chargers can re-apply to join the Group 6 senior competition in 2019.

However, Hazelton said the Chargers would need to make a special presentation to Group 6 and other clubs if they wanted to return.

“If that presentation is successful, a financial bond could be placed on the club which would need to be paid up front,” he said.

“They could then lose that bond if there is more violent behaviour.”

​Chargers club director Barry Clark said his club was “obviously devastated’ by the decision.

Clark said he didn’t believe it was fair that Mittagong players wouldn’t face sanctions for their involvement in the fights on Sunday.

“We had a few guys who did the wrong thing but 16 other guys did nothing wrong and they’re being punished too,” he said.

“The group seems to think we’re thugs but a lot of our guys tried to do the right thing.

“The Mittagong players antagonised us all game so I don’t understand why they’re not taking any responsibility for it.”

Clarke said his club would wait until Group 6’s judiciary findings in early October before deciding whether to re-apply for affiliation.

“We don’t know what we’ll do next yet but it’s certainly left our premiership win on a sour note,” he said.

There was also a fight during the Group 6 second division grand final between the Warragamba Wombats and City Kangaroos on Saturday night at Kirkham Park.

Warragamba and City players were fined $4000 each for their involvement.
