But battling Lillian was finally given a red card — for trying to spend beer tokens handed out to her player grandson for a drink after a match.

Lillian was banned for three months after supporting Pyle RFC for 40 years.

She said: "I've been going to watch games since I was in my thirties. The committee think they have got the better of me but I'm not going to leave it there."

Lillian has vowed to carry on watching the team through the steel railings along the boundary of the pitch.
