Setanta has training ground bust-up with Carlton teammate

SETANTA Ó hAILPíN hit the headlines in Australia yesterday after pictures of a training ground bust-up with team-mate Cain Ackland appeared in the country’s biggest selling newspaper, The Melbourne Herald Sun.

The two Carlton players traded blows in front of stunned team-mates during a routine rucking drill after Ackland had apparently clipped the Irishman with an elbow.

Both players then went to ground with Ackland pushing the former Cork hurler’s face into the turf before being separated by assistant coach Brett Ratten.
