 Bottle thrown at touch judge mars Blues victory  (http://www.canberratimes.com.au/news/local/sport/rugby-league/bottle-thrown-at-touch-judge-mars-blues-victory/2273089.aspx)

Relations between spectators and Canberra rugby league referees tumbled to a new low yesterday when touch judge Garth Widdowson was targeted by a water bottle thrown from the crowd.

Head referee Rod Cranston momentarily stopped play midway through the second half of the Queanbeyan Blues' 32-25 major semi-final win over Belconnen United, threatening to end the contest if there was a repeat of the incident.
