GAA disciplinary chiefs will launch an immediate investigation into a mass brawl at the end of normal time in the All-Ireland SFC quarter-final between Armagh and Galway.

Armagh forced extra-time after a sensational comeback in the closing minutes but that finish was overshadowed by horrific scenes as the two sides clashed as they left the pitch after the regulation time.
