UCC cancels raft races due to unruly behaviour

THE students’ union at University College Cork has decided not to hold any raft races in the future following seriously unruly behaviour at last Wednesday’s event.

More than 600 people attended the raft race and trouble flared when a well-orchestrated minority arrived laden down with eggs and flour which they threw indiscriminately at passing cars and pedestrians.

One woman's car was bombarded so badly that she narrowly missed crashing into a wall near the city's Gaol Cross.
