Leicestershire cup final abandoned 'after racist abuse'
Image captionA football cup final was abandoned partway through after alleged racist remarks from the crowd.
The Saturday Vase Final between FC Wymeswold and Cosby United on Wednesday was halted after 78 minutes. One witness said a red-carded player was abused, and a confrontation between players and crowd then developed. The Leicestershire & Rutland County FA said it"will investigate all allegations related to this game and take the necessary discipline action".
On Twitter, the Leicestershire FA said the result of the game would be decided upon disciplinary proceedings and urged any witnesses to submit a statement to them.
