Probe as row blights clash in Tralee

Kerry GAA chiefs are set to investigate ugly scenes which developed at half-time in Saturday’s county senior hurling championship quarter-final between Ballyduff and Causeway at Austin Stack Park, Tralee.

Players from both sides became embroiled in a melee as the sides left the field and headed for the dressing rooms under the main stand. The incident had spectators on their feet, as referee Cathal McAllister from Cork and his linesmen stayed on the pitch.

The bust-up was sparked by a clash between two players, which was not spotted by the referee or his officials, minutes before the interval.
