Two men have been found guilty of assaulting the referee at Croke Park after the Leinster Football final between Louth and Meath in July 2010.
Joseph Conlon, 23, of Marlbog Road, Haggardstown, Dundalk and Paul Grimes, 50, with an address at Willowdale Bay Estate, Dundalk had denied the charges.
They were fined €1,000 each by the court.
Judge Bridget Reilly rejected defence claims that the men had no case to answer because referee Martin Sludden withdrew his complaint.
Mr Sludden was attacked by Louth fans after he allowed Meath a goal in the closing seconds of the game.
