THERE may not have been the anticipated fireworks on-field in Saturday's Southern Premier League grand final win by Clarence over New Norfolk, but there were plenty off it.
Tasmania Police spokesman Mark Franklin said four people from the crowd were arrested and another fan ejected from North Hobart Oval.
``The crowd was extremely well behaved right up to the last minute of the game,'' Franklin said.
``It started in the wet area with two guys fighting, then some of the crowd joined in.''
He said the charges -- disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace by fighting -- were, not surprisingly, all alcohol-related.
