Huge brawl between players and fans in Munster Youth football final

The Munster Football Association have launched an investigation into the incident

Footage of a brawl during College Corinthians' Munster Youth Cup final victory over Pike Rovers has surfaced.

Corinthians defeated Rovers 3-1 in the the U18A final at Turner's Cross, on Sunday afternoon. There were ugly scenes that occurred in injury time and at the end of the game, as players and supporters of both the Cork and Limerick teams clashed.

The brawl was sparked by referee Darren O'Rourke, who sent a player from each team off towards the end of the game. A large number of guards arrived on the scene, who were called after the fight broke out. An ambulance was also required for an injured College Corinthians player, however he did not require hospital attention.

The MFA are to meet in the coming days to discuss the brawl. MFA administrator, Barry Cotter, told the Echo that he "can't go into anything" yet due to the situation being "so fresh".

Barry Cotter added: "…a fair and full investigation will take place immediately once we get the referee's report." 

College Corinthians and Pike Rovers have not commented on the incident.
