Players from Armagh and Cavan are facing possible suspensions after a mass brawl broke out before today's Ulster SFC quarter-final at the Athletic Grounds.

Up to 15 players were involved in the flashpoint which happened during the pre-match parade. Cavan's Martin Dunne was unable to play after being struck and was later seen with his arm in a sling.

Amazingly, no players were sent off by Sligo referee Marty Duffy and the home side went on to win the game by 1-12 to 0-9.

A statement from the Ulster Council said that that the CCCC of the GAA will "view the referee's report and any action will arise from the findings."
