Video footage circulating on social media appears to capture a group of supporters from both counties engaged in a violent altercation near a bus in what seems to be a drop-off point for match-goers.

An Garda Síochána confirmed to the Irish Mirror that they “had received no reports of any incidents,” relating to the Ulster semi-final encounter.

On the pitch, Armagh dominated their fierce rivals, cruising into the Ulster final with a commanding 3-33 to 0-14 victory, reports the Irish Mirror. Kieran McGeeney’s side will now face Monaghan as they bid to lift the Anglo Celt Cup for the first time since 2008.
