Ballymun Kickhams have secured a place in the Dublin SFC final after their win over Kilmacud Crokes, with tempers becoming flared at the end of the contest.
Ballymun would run out 1-18 to 2-12 after a very tense game, one which featured two missed penalties and a couple of late red cards.
The crucial moment in the match came just before injury time, with Cathal O'Tighe scoring a goal to extend their lead to five points.

Things would become heated directly after the incident, with Ballymun pair David Byrne and Leon Young receiving their marching orders after a number of scuffles broke out when Ballymun attempted to press high for the kick-out directly after that goal.

Barring successful appeals, those two players will now miss the final.
Pat Burke would get a late goal for Kilmacud but it would not be enough as they fell to a two-point defeat.
Speaking after game, Ballymun manager Brendan Hackett said that while he didn't see the incident, the club will likely appeal Leon Young's red card.
"I'm not sure about Leon's .... I'd say that will be appealed"

At that stage I was watching the defence, so I actually didn't see. With the cards at the end, I don't know what happened...
I'm not sure about the Leon one. I was looking at the backs and I'd say that will be appealed because I can't understand what Leon's was for. I didn't see anything.
