Police in Central Otago are monitoring Facebook today after being tipped off to a fight being planned for this weekend by youths involved in a rugby match brawl a week ago.
Wanaka police are monitoring the social media website after a member of the public tipped them off that teenagers
were making online plans this week for a "no weapons, no police" fight.
The plans were a result of "continuing friction" after a brawl broke out at a match between an Upper Clutha under-16 side and a Cromwell under 17-side at the Upper Clutha rugby grounds last Saturday, Senior Sergeant Allan Grindell said.
"There's certain individuals that are promoting the idea of a fight. We're not sure of the exact location as yet but obviously both the Cromwell police and ourselves are aware of it."
Police wanted to issue a warning that any type of anti-social, violent behaviour would not be tolerated and a firm approach would be taken.
