WATCH: Brawl breaks out at end of Senior Hurling Championship match in Laois

A brawl involving players and subsequently officials broke out at end of Senior Hurling Championship match in Laois on Friday night that was shown live on Clubber and shared on social media.

Clough Ballacolla and The Harps played in O'Moore Park and at the end of the game, tempers flared with players from both sides involved in what was initially more pulling and dragging with some pushing and shoving thrown in. That went on for a minute but it seemed to have died down but just when it looked like the two groups had been separated and were heading their separate ways. 

However it all flared up again with an official from The Harps appearing to be the one that started the more serious flare up and hurls can be seen flying with strokes being pulled in the middle of the melee. 

For the record, Clough Ballacolla won the game by 1-20 to 3-12.
