St Kiernan's dethroned Fulham Irish to capture their first London SFC title since 2016 but this final will make the headlines for all the wrong reasons as six players were red carded during an ill-tempered McGovern Park clash.

A row broke out at half-time as players from each side made their way down the tunnel, and, when they returned to the pitch for the second-half, referee Gavin Dixon issued red cards to Fulham Irish trio Paddy Naughton, David O'Connor and Chris Duggan, along with opponents Keith Curran and Thomas Waters. 

13-man St Kieran's - who triumphed on a 1-13 to 0-12 scoreline after trailing 0-7 to 0-6 at the break - were playing against ten at one stage in the second-half following two black cards.

Fulham finished with four red cards after substitute Marty Hughes was sent to the line in the closing stages.
