Three red cards and 30-man brawl

A 30-man brawl marred yesterday’s Waterford SHC third round game between Mount Sion and Dungarvan at Fraher Field. 

The incident lasted eight minutes towards the end of the first half, with players and mentors from both sides involved. County board officials and stewards intervened to restore calm.

When tempers cooled, referee Dessie O’Leary flashed red cards to Austin Gleeson and Colm Curran who tussled off the ball initially.
