Schoolboy rugby players spared jail after admitting roles in street brawl

Two rugby players from a prestigious private school who were involved in a mass brawl have avoided a jail term.

Scott Flood Wiley, now aged 21, and Evan Lewis, now aged 22, were celebrating the victory of their school, Clongowes Wood College, in the Leinster Schools Cup when they got involved in a fight involving around 20 men.

Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard gardaí were later able to identify the pair by going through the Clongowes yearbook and finding their pictures.
