Wicklow County Board will investigate unsavoury incidents that took place during the Division Two match between Ballymanus and Blessington.

Chaos ensued after the final whistle at Tinahely on Sunday when a crowd of around 50 people from both sides became engaged in a melee, during the course of which a player was allegedly bitten, according to The Wicklow People.

The post-match dust-up stemmed from another incident during the match itself when a Blessington player was struck in the face and suffered a broken jaw and damaged teeth - injuries which required surgery, according to the report.

The trouble flared when a spectator confronted the player he deemed responsible for causing the injury.

Wicklow CCC will make a ruling on the matter once it has studied the referee's report.
