A 15-year-old boy has been arrested after violent disorder following Gornal Athletic’s Midlands Football League Division One play-off final defeat to Sutton United at Garden Walk Stadium in Gornal on Saturday.

West Midlands Police said they are investigating incidents from 2 May. The force said no one was seriously injured, a 15-year-old was arrested on suspicion of violent disorder and bailed pending further enquiries, and witnesses should contact Live Chat or call 101 quoting log 3806 of 2/5/26.

Sutton United won 2-1 and supporters went onto the pitch to celebrate with players. Several Gornal fans also entered the field and clashes followed.

Punches were thrown and flares landed on the pitch before being hurled back towards the packed main stand. More than 1,500 people attended the final.

Officers ran across the pitch to break up scuffles, with at least one police dog visible. It took at least 15 minutes to clear the area and move fans away.
