Tunnel brawl between Dublin and Mayo players at half-time of All-Ireland final

A number of Dublin and Mayo players were involved in a tunnel melee as the teams headed for the half-time break in the All-Ireland final this evening.

The Dubs led 2-6 to 0-10 at half-time after a high-octane first half and tensions between the teams boiled over in the tunnel as they headed for the Croke Park dressing rooms.

They would later clinch their sixth title in a row with a 2-14 to 0-15 victory.

Hands were raised as things became very heated between the old rivals after an entertaining 35 minutes of football.

The Dubs weren't tested in their run to the final as they strolled through the Leinster Championship and hammered Cavan in the semi-final, which led many to predict an easy win for Dessie Farrell's men tonight.

But their old adversaries didn't read the script so far and really put it up to the Dubs at a near-empty Croke Park.
