There were ugly scenes in Parnell Park on Saturday as a fight broke out among the players of Oulart the Ballagh of Wexford and Naomh Barróg of Dublin.
The teams representing Wexford and Dublin met in the Leinster intermediate hurling quarter-final and Naomh Barróg ultimately came out on top with a 3-2 win on penalties as extra-time couldn't separate the sides.
And they could not be separated in an altogether more physical sense as a major brawl broke out involving players, substitutes and even members of the crowd.

A mass melee involving most of the starting players from both sides erupted on the field before substitutes and mentors posted on the sideline entered the fray and became embroiled in the frantic altercation.
The fight took place right under the stand at Parnell Park and soon enough the matter escalated as spectators appeared to square off and others positioned higher up in the stand clambered down between rows of seats and into the thick of the fight.
Other spectators could be heard remonstrating with those down at pitch level as the altercation escalated.
With the GAA coming under fire in recent times for violent incidents at games around the country, many social media users were further appalled by the scenes from Parnell Park.
One commented: "Disgraceful but not surprising."
While another said: "Scenes like this are becoming way too common and nothing every done about it by the @officialgaa."
"Throw the book at the lot of them," said another.
It is expected that Leinster's competitions control committee will await the referee's report before potentially launching a probe into the row.
