    Having played underage GAA the whole way up I saw my fair share of heated moments between mentors/parents but this seems far more serious altogether with 3 people being hospitalised. Disgraceful really no other way to put it, there is competing and then there is this.

    It was worse than a melee. The gaa fight definitions are as follows:
    Schmozzle a row involving numerous players from either team. Usually nothing more than handbags.
    Melee: larger row involving nearly every player on both teams with both keepers running the field to get involved. Often involves substitutes and the ref just constantly blowing his whistle. Mentors known to square up also.
    Shameful scenes: a larger melee with mothers hitting people with umbrellas and supporters scaling and climbing fences to get involved in the action.
    All hell broke loose: see shameful scenes but usually spills over into the car park with the match being abandoned and Guards and ambulances called and hits national headlines
