Skryne advanced to the semi-finals of the SFC on Saturday night with a thoroughly merited victory over Donaghmore / Ashbourne.

Some of the Donaghmore / Ashbourne players were skating on thin ice from an early stage as the team seemed to adopt very aggressive tactics which produced a flurry of yellow cards.

The temperature boiled over near the end when Donaghmore / Ashbourne manager Andy McEntee was dismissed from the sideline along with Skryne's Cyril Carty.

Skryne manager Liam Harnan ended up as a peacekeeper as a melee erupted on the sideline, but stewards quickly intervened and restored enough order for the game to finish.

Skryne were ahead by 2-10 to 1-7 with about two minutes remaining when the trouble started.

"There will be a full investigation into this matter, we have to wait for the referee's report, but we also saw what took place," commented Meath chairman Barney Allen.
