Good evening. A former mayor of That is it from | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
Good evening. A former mayor of Ashburton has been treated in | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
hospital after he was punched and knocked to the ground during a | :00:15. | :00:17. | |
football match he was refereeing. Donald Distin, who's the Master | :00:18. | :00:20. | |
Bailiff of the town council, says he's been left shocked and bruised | :00:21. | :00:22. | |
after the incident at Ashburton Football Club yesterday afternoon. | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
Johnny Rutherford reports. He was just doing his job, but | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
referee Donald Distin has been left battered and bruised by an attack | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
that landed him in hospital. He didn't want to talk publicly about | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
the incident, which happened during yesterday's match between Ashburton | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
and Torre FC, but others saw what happened. The referee called the | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
player over to give him a yellow card. He was just giving the referee | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
a load of abuse. As he went to give him a second yellow, the player just | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
turned around and punched the referee so hard it knocked him off | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
the ground to the floor and his nose was bleeding, his cheeks swelled | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
right up. I've never seen anything like that at all in amateur football | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
and I think it's disgusting. The referee was taken to hospital and | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
the game was abandoned. BBC Spotlight has been told the player | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
concerned was involved in another incident in a match last Thursday, | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
so yesterday he played under a false name. I feel disgusted. It's | :01:24. | :01:30. | |
lowering the tone of the game, it's not sending out a good advertisement | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
for football. There was children watching the game. Everybody was | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
totally shocked. Torre FC didn't want to appear on camera but the | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
chairman told me they strongly apologised for Saturday's incident. | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
They said they don't condone the offending player's actions and he | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
did not represent the players from the club. They have now withdrawn | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
from the league and the club will fold. | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
Firefighters have been out on strike again today. Members of the Fire | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
Brigades Union walked out at 10am this morning until 3pm in an ongoing | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
dispute over pensions. The government says the FBU has one of | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
the most generous schemes in the public sector. Crews responded to a | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
number of shouts during the three days of action. | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
Sport now, and the Exeter Chiefs' hopes of making a play`off for the | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
European Cup are over after they were beaten by the narrowest of | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
margins at home to Harlequins in front of a sell`out crowd. The | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
Chiefs led for most of the match with tries from Dave Lewis and Matt | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
Jess, before Quins went over with just four minutes left in the game. | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
The final score at Sandy Park ` Chiefs 29, Harlequins 30. | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
Staying with rugby, and Jersey scored six tries on their way to a | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
38`7 win over rivals Guernsey in the annual Siam Cup match. It's the | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
sixth year in a row the Reds have won the cup. Nicky Griffiths, Ed | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
Dawson, Mark Foster, Joe Buckle, Sam Lockwood and Tom Brown all crossed | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
the line for Jersey. Long`serving prop Jon Brennan was captain, and | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
among a number of local players in the starting line`up. There are five | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
Jersey guys in the starting line`up and we all feel proud of the Siam | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
Cup. Everyone else has been through their different communities and you | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
could see they were playing for that. That was a real contest, that | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
was as intense as anything we've had. Guernsey, you know with that | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
difference, you don't see that when the game starts, everyone is flying | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
out and you know you're in a contest. | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
Falmouth have once again retained the World Pilot Gig Championship | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
titles on the Isles of Scilly. The Cornish club has won both the men's | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
and women's event four years in a row now. More than 2000 rowers took | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
part, with the final races staged in blazing sunshine. Hannah Stacey was | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
at the finish. Falmouth Men's A Crew have done it | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
once again. Let's speak to them after they crossed the line. | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
Falmouth Men. It's a tough race, I think it was the first time this | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
weekend all the crews gave everything they've had, so it was | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
the first time we had to work all the way down the track. But finally | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
all the training has paid off and it's been worth it. How does it feel | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
to have this welcome? As you near the quay you can hear the roar | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
getting louder and louder, the support is fantastic, I think that's | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
why Scilly is the best place to race gigs. Fantastic. To my right, all | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
you can see is an army of rowers, their oars held high in salute. It | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
brings to a close the 25th World Pilot Gig Championships. | :04:32. | :04:41. | |
And finally, Members of the south`west's Filipino community were | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
out in Plymouth to celebrate the festival of Flores de Mayo today. | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
During the religious festival, which means Flowers of May, children and | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
young women offer flowers to the Virgin Mary. The statue was blessed | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
by the Bishop of Plymouth. The Santa Cruzan procession is traditionally | :04:58. | :05:05. | |
the final part of the festival. Some lovely sunshine around today. | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
Let's look at the weather. Some lovely sunshine around today. | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
Let's look at the It's been a fine day for much of the region. We will | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
keep the fine and dry weather overnight. A little cloud here and | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
there but clear skies for many. Slightly more of a breeze during the | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
night, it is looking generally frost free, perhaps parts of the | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
countryside down to four degrees tomorrow morning. Some brightness | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
initially tomorrow but we have increasing cloud through Monday | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
which will bring outbreaks of rain in the afternoon, pushing west | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
through the day, more of a breeze. It remains mild, highs of 15 degrees | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
and the Channel Islands keep dry weather through the day, but from | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
tomorrow onwards it turns more unsettled. Tuesday and Wednesday | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
both days of sunshine and showers. That's all for now. | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
I'll be back with the late news at 10:15pm. | :06:01. | :06:09. | |
Good evening. Today we have had the sunniest skies in the South whereas | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
in the north it has been quite cloudy. Tomorrow, we switch things | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
around. In the east we will have warm, hazy sunshine. In the west we | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
will have the biggest cloud. Tonight, there will be some rain | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
across parts of Scotland. The rain easing across Northern Ireland. For | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
many will be a dry night. For many across the south it will be cold. | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
Maybe not quite as cold as last night. We should start with quite a | :06:38. | :06:47. | |
bit of sunshine across central and eastern areas. The sunshine will | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
turn quite hazy of the cloud spills in from the west. The wind is also | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
starting to pick up and we will see rain. For Northern Ireland, the rain | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
spreading across a good part of Western Scotland. It may start to | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
brighten up later in the day. After a bright start across north-west | :07:09. | :07:10. |
