In a heated rugby match between Science College and S. Thomas' College, a controversial call led to post-match mayhem. Towards the end of play, a Science College player appeared to have scored a try, but the main referee, uncertain of the play, sought the line referee's opinion and ultimately ruled it out.

Following the final whistle, which saw Science College handed a 30-26 defeat, tensions boiled over as several Science spectators stormed the field to confront the referees about the disallowed try.

The confrontation quickly escalated into a physical altercation. Four referees have been hospitalized following the incident.
