MEN IN COURT OVER CITY BARE KNUCKLE FIGHT

Date Published: 04-Nov-2008

Two men, who have vowed to kill each other when they meet again, appeared in custody before Galway District Court yesterday.

They’re charged in connection with a bare knuckled, bloody fight which took place at the top of Shop Street last Wednesday afternoon.

A crowd of over 200 people, some of whom filmed the incident and posted it on the internet, formed a large circle around the fight near Brown Thomas.

Judge Gerard Houghton granted bail to both men on their own sureties of €300 and independent sureties of €3,000, to appear before the court again on November 12 to set a date for hearing if necessary.
