(about 1 hour later) | |
South Wales Police have now said that five arrests were made after problems at Cardiff City's pre-season game against Merthyr Tydfil. | |
Officers revised the number of arrests after they had earlier said that seven were held in Merthyr on Saturday. | |
They followed "minor disturbances" before, during and after the match at Penydarren Park. | |
One had a final warning, three were dealt with by fixed penalty notices, and one was charged with disorder. | |
Police maintained a presence in the town on Saturday evening to ensure there were no more disturbances. | |
There were reports of smashed windows in a pub. | |
On the field, Cardiff beat Merthyr 3-1, with John Brown, Steve Thompson and Sol Taylor scoring for the visitors, and Craig Stiens finding the net for the home team. | On the field, Cardiff beat Merthyr 3-1, with John Brown, Steve Thompson and Sol Taylor scoring for the visitors, and Craig Stiens finding the net for the home team. |
