Brendan Fevola marched off field after local footy incident
Brendan Fevola has been involved in a fiery on-field incident during a cameo football appearance in South Australia on Saturday. The Carlton cult hero was shown a yellow card and was sent off the field for 10 minutes for his role in a melee during South Whyalla's derby against Central Whyalla at Memorial Oval. The match was streamed live by the SA Regional Footy page on Facebook and the cameras captured the moment Fevola was involved in a scuffle in the final quarter of the Roosters' 6.10 (46) to 6.8 (44) win over the Demons.

The stream showed Fevola, playing for South Whyalla, turned and shoved a Central Whyalla player after he had been jabbed in the back as he stood on the mark following a grab taken near the goal square. Spectator vision obtained by The Advertiser, then shows the moment the former Coleman Medallist appeared to wrestle two opposition players before tensions boiled over. The publication reports Fevola and one opposition player began throwing punches at each other after a third Central Whyalla player ran into the scuffle and pushed the 44-year-old in the back. You can watch the full incident in the video player above. Vision shows the Fevola was dragged to the ground by a Central Whyalla player before the melee was broken up and play continued. Fevola was then shown a yellow card by the umpire and took a seat on the bench late in the game. The former Brisbane Lions forward was in good spirits after the game and was seen with fans during a promotional night for the football club. Fevola was not reported by the umpires for the incident. He has made a habit of causing drama at local footy matches this year. Fevola teamed up with Guy Sebastian to make a one-off appearance for VAFA Division 5 Thirds team the Masala Dandenong Football Club in May. Sebastian ended up limping from the field in the fourth quarter with a serious knee injury.

Fight at a funeral in Connecticut erupts into gunfire and stabbing, wounding 2
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A dispute between family members at a funeral in Connecticut spiraled into a melee in which one man was stabbed and a woman grazed by gunfire, police said. Witnesses and police described a chaotic scene as people threw punches and gunshots rang out as people screamed and the crowd of about 150 mourners poured out of Gospel Lighthouse Apostolic Church, north of downtown Hartford. Police said there was shooting both inside and outside the church. 'You can imagine what 150 people scrambling out of the church looked like,' said police Lt. Aaron Boisvert, who said bullets damaged the interior. No arrests were announced. Police recovered two guns but investigators had not yet determined if they were fired. The two wounded people had injuries that weren't life-threatening and were taken in private vehicles to a local hospital. It wasn't immediately clear what sparked the fight. No one answered the phone at the church and a phone message was left for the pastor. The funeral was for 89-year-old Ida Hawkins-Green, who had nine kids of her own and one stepchild, as well more than 100 grandchildren and great-grandchildren, according to her obituary. She died last month. Curtis Thomas, who was set to sing at the service, wondered when this kind of violence would end. 'It's already enough grieving. But to do it in a church? A church?' he told WTNH-TV. 'A place where people come to get guidance and get help from a higher power.'
