Gardaí and Cork GAA officials say they are aware of a serious incident at a Cork football league game in Mallow earlier this month in which a spectator was struck and injured. An altercation on the sideline towards the end of the Division 2 game between Mallow and Eire Óg spilled outside the pitch perimeter with violent consequences, say sources familiar with the incident. A Mallow supporter suffered facial injuries in the fracas, and gardaí have confirmed they are aware of the incident. Cork GAA officials say a full CCC investigation will take place. A spokesperson confirmed they are aware of an incident involving some spectators but would not elaborate.
