Newry City v Larne Irish Cup tie abandoned after violence

Cup match called off when teams get fighty

The Irish Cup clash (literally) between Newry City and Larne was abandoned on 82 minutes after a mass brawl involving players, substitutes and coaching staff broke out.

Two Larne players and manager Paul Millar had been sent-off when the trouble flared up with Newry leading 2-1 up. Video footage has not emerged, but the photos in the slideshow above show some nasty kicks to the head, plenty of punches and one outrageous incident of nose-picking.
