Shocking scenes at end of Kilcormac/Killoughey game as spectator appears to punch Ballyhale player

There were shocking scenes at the end of the Leinster Quarter Final between Kilcormac/Killoughey and Ballyhale as a supporter in a Kilcormac/Killoughey jersey appeared to enter the pitch and punch a Ballyhale Shamrocks player. 

The ugly incident came at the end of a hard fought and thrilling game between two top sides where the Kilkenny champions recovered from three points down at half-time to win by 0-25 to 1-18. 

A scuffle broke out among the players on the final whistle but the TG4 coverage showed the supporter in the Kilcormac/Killoughey jersey enter the field and appear to throw a punch at a Ballyhale player. 

The scuffle escalated after that before the man who entered the pitch was dragged off to the side. He could eventually be seen being escorted back into the stands.
