The Glen and Bishopstown get brawl fine

Cork clubs Glen Rovers and Bishopstown have both been fined by the Cork County Board in the wake of the brawl when the sides met recently.

The Glen triumphed by 2-16 to 1-8 in the fourth round of the county SHC on August 23, but it was a game marred by a fight which resulted in the match being held up.

Cork hurler Patrick Horgan of the Glen and Bishopstown’s Colm O’Driscoll, who plays football for the county, both received straight red cards while another Town player, Mark Driscoll, was ordered off following a second booking. The Glen’s Donal Cronin was also dismissed late in the game for two yellow cards.
