Cobh Ramblers liaising with gardaí after fans clash

A League of Ireland soccer club has condemned the behaviour of some of its fans and said it is liaising with gardaí after violent post-match scenes outside its stadium.

Stones were thrown and there were unconfirmed reports that a female steward was hit by a brick as fans clashed outside St Colman’s Park in Cobh, Co Cork, on Saturday after Drogheda Utd beat Cobh Ramblers 2-0.

Footage on social media shows fans firing missiles at rival supporters, who reacted by charging forward, one fan attempting to use a stick as a weapon and a fist fight between two youths.
