Laois and Cork minors face ejection after brawl

Laois and Cork could face the ultimate punishment - ejection from the All-Ireland minor football championship - as punishment for the brawl that broke out in the Gaelic Grounds after their quarter-final draw on Sunday.

Laois and Cork could face the ultimate punishment - ejection from the All-Ireland minor football championship - as punishment for the brawl that broke out in the Gaelic Grounds after their quarter-final draw on Sunday.

The GAC met in Croke Park on Sunday and launched a formal investigation into the fracas that saw players and mentors involved in a brawl after the final whistle.

The GAC have received the referee's report from Michael Daly and have asked TG4, who covered the game, for the footage.

Both counties will be hit with fines, but it is now thought that the sides could face the ultimate sanction, which would see Kerry go straight through to the final.
