POLICE will review liquor licensing issues and officer numbers at football matches following a brawl at the Central Highlands Football League grand final at the weekend. Police will also discuss the smuggling of alcohol into games during talks with the CHFL tomorrow.The move comes after an alcohol-fuelled incident at the grand final between Daylesford and Hepburn at Eureka Stadium on Saturday. A crowd member allegedly refused attempts by police to remove him from the ground for being abusive. When other officers intervened, people in the crowd allegedly started throwing beer cans.Two police officers were injured.Five people aged 21, 24, 38, 46 and 50 were arrested and will face charges including drunkenness, resisting police, assaulting police and discharging missiles. Ballarat Acting Senior Sergeant Karl Curran yesterday said police would hold a debrief with CHFL and discuss ways to prevent similar incidents occurring in the future."We want to ensure that the general community is safe from these people who ignore the interests of the rest of the crowd," he said. "We want to try to discuss some strategies."The message has to go out to the supporters through the league that this sort of behaviour isn't acceptable."A decision was made after half-time to stop serving alcohol to sections of the crowd. The CHFL described the alleged fight as a "very regrettable incident" at a community event in a statement to The Courier yesterday. "It was a one-off incident which spoiled the overall impact of an exciting day of football enjoyed by many thousands of people," the statement says.CHFL denied claims that extra security and police had been engaged because of the teams - Daylesford and Hepburn - playing."Extra security and police had been engaged well prior to the grand finalists being determined due to concerns with the high level of alcohol consumption of some patrons," the league said.The statement says the CHFL executive will continue to work with police to decrease alcohol consumption at matches.
