Galway's Damien Comer clashes with a member of the Armagh panel.

An investigation into a brawl at Sunday's All Ireland Senior football Quarter final is set to be launched by the GAA.

An alleged eye gouging incident at the Galway - Armagh game is likely to be at the centre of the investigation.

The large melee at the Galway VS Armagh game, included players, subs, backroom staff and members of extended panels.

The brawl happened as the players headed back to the tunnel at the end of normal time, and lasted around a minute.

One particular incident, an apparent eye-gouging of Damien Comer by a member of Armagh’s extended panel, sparked a furious reaction from some of his Galway colleagues and was highlighted on RTÉ even before extra-time had started.

It will be among a number of other incidents set to be investigated by the GAAs Central Competitions Control Committee today.
