Fines handed to Cork clubs following mass brawl reduced on appeal

The €3,000 fines handed down to both Kilmacabea and Tadhg MacCarthaigh following a mass brawl at the end of the Carbery JAFC final have been reduced to €1,500 on appeal.

Both clubs went before the appeals committee of the Cork county board on Tuesday evening to fight the financial penalty imposed on them, as well as the eight-week suspensions dished out to Kimacabea’s Richie O’Sullivan, three Tadhg MacCarthaigh’s players and a member of their backroom team.
