It's understood a number of missiles and flares were also thrown onto the pitch with minor injuries reported.

A Longford soccer commentator is condemning dangerous scenes which broke out at the Longford/ Bray Wanderers Match on Friday night.

One teenager was arrested following crowd disturbances involving a group of away supporters and home stewards inside the Bishopgate grounds.

Shannonside soccer correspondent Tony Ghee says events like these are a rarity and put the sport in a bad light.
