Alan Reynolds on Cork-Waterford brawl: All hell broke loose

Referee Rob Rogers showed red cards to two players from each side — Garry Buckley and Steven Beattie for City and Bastien Hery and Stanley Aborah for Waterford, as well as sending both managers to the stands — after chaos reigned in injury time at the RSC.
City boss John Caulfield accepts he was in the wrong for crossing the white line in an attempt to retrieve the ball for a throw-in as the opposition tried to run down the clock but it was when he approached Hery and the player reacted by pushing him to the ground, that the situation erupted into a mass melee.
