Munster GAA chiefs have confirmed that a terrified young supporter was injured in a post-match pitch invasion on Saturday at Páirc Uí Chaoimh and have warned again of the serious risks to players and supporters of such behaviour.

Details have emerged of a chaotic and dangerous few minutes on the Blackrock terrace after Cork’s thrilling Munster SHC victory over All-Ireland champions Limerick, resulting in injuries and hospitalisation of at least one teenager, a 16-year-old Cork girl, who was caught under the surge to get onto the pitch.
