A minor hurling league game in Dublin between Naomh Fionnbarra and Clanna Gael Fontenoy was abandoned on Sunday following an alleged assault on a match official.
An umpire was treated for injuries by medics at the match venue, Sean Moore Park, and Gardaí were called to the scene.
Naomh Fionnbarra had two players red carded.
The referee abandoned the match early in the second half.
Naomh Fionnbarra said they are awaiting the referee's report, but challenged the "one-sided" media reports that have arisen from the match.
"Naomh Fionnbarra GAA club is aware of media coverage surrounding our U18 hurling league game against Clana Gael (sic) in Ringsend," a club statement to RTÉ Sport read.
"We await the referees report from the game and a possible investigation from the Dublin County Board.
"We dispute some of the one-sided media reports and have launched an internal investigation. We are aware that members of both clubs have contacted Gardaí in relation to incidents at the game."
It is the latest example of physical abuse of officials at GAA matches.
The investigation carried out by the Wexford Central Competitions Control Committee also fined the club €1,000.
Weeks before that, an incident in Roscommon left a referee in hospital and games postponed in protest.
An ambulance was called and the match was subsequently abandoned.
Following that incident, then Minister of State for Sport Jack Chambers, called for a swift investigation and said anyone who is found responsible for deliberately harming a match official needs to be held to account.
A motion was passed at GAA's Annual Congress last month that doubled the suspension meted out to those who assault match officials, with the minimum suspension going from 48 weeks to 96 weeks.
The minimum suspension for a repeat infraction is now a 192-week suspension.
GAA President elect Jarlath Burns has said that he would be in favour of more diligent tracking of club player and supporter behaviour in order to cut down on the abuse of match officials.
Burns said that he would like to see an addition to a referee's report where both teams as well as their supporters are given grades across the season with potential sanctions to be applied as a result.
"When we become emotionally involved in a game we lose sense of rationality and logic and I think that we need to focus on the worst culprits at club in particular who are abusing referees and causing referees not to want to continue to be referees," he said.
"My feeling is, the GAA are going to have to be very hard-handed in how they deal with it. They have to make one or two examples. If they have to, they have to. End of story."
