Man sentenced for throwing banana at soccer player
Kelvin Reynolds, aged 20, of Pinewood Avenue, Caherdavin, admitted at Limerick District Court to a breach of public order, by throwing the banana at a player and assaulting a garda sergeant at Thomond Park last August when Limerick FC played host to Manchester City.
Judge Eugene O’Kelly told Reynolds, a Manchester United fan: “Save for acting like a monkey, throwing a banana was the lowest taunt.”
