Mass brawl fails to blow  Crokes off course

And so it proved. But, unfortunately a mass brawl between these two rivals, and not the football they produced, was the dominant topic of conversation for those leaving the Austin Stack Park, Tralee yesterday.

A 16th minute foul on Colm Cooper was the spark which ignited the powder-keg with melees and fights erupting throughout the pitch. Ironically the early momentum was with Stacks when the incident occurred, as they led 0-5 to 0-4 and had the wind at their backs. But the attack on their talisman seemed to spur Crokes into life and from that moment on there was only going to be one winner.
