Coach Beaten Unconscious in Fight During Girls Rugby Match in Northern California

ROHNERT PARK, Calif. (AP) - A girls rugby coach was beaten until he was bloody and unconscious during a weekend match, and police are seeking criminal charges against as many as 10 people.

"I never saw them coming," said Craig Stewart, 55, who was kicked in the head and face by another coach and parents during a game Saturday, according to witnesses and police.

The violence erupted during a tournament game between the Rohnert Park Girls Rugby Club and Stewart's team, the Alameda High School Riptide club team.

The conflict began when referee Paul Berman, 42, ordered a spectator off the field and was punched in the face three times by the brother of the coach of the Rohnert Park team, police Sgt. Art Sweeney said.
