It was meant to be a day of joy and fun for young footy players but what followed can only be described as disgraceful.

A junior rugby league finals match was marred after a brawl between parents.

The fight broke out between parents and spectators attending the under-12s Mt Druitt Vikings and Penrith Brothers finals match at Erskine Park, about 9.30am on Saturday.

Footage shared with 7NEWS shows a group of adults throwing punches and tackling each other to the ground.

The fight was so bad the game was called off with no winner or trophy presented.

“It’s disgusting to me,” witness Chad Nepia said.

“We’re here for the kids, you know?”

It is understood the fight began after the match referee made a call one side was not happy with.

“We were on the other side of the field, and we saw cops turn up about half an hour later,” Nepia said.

Police were called to the scene, however, by the time they had arrived the fight had broken up.

“On arrival, officers attached to Nepean Police Area Command were told two male spectators had become involved in an argument, with one of the males leaving the grounds,” police said.

“A short time later, the male reportedly returned with a number of other associates and a brawl occurred; however, the group left the area before police arrived.”

Anyone with information or footage of the fight is urged to contact police.
