'Talented footballers' have assault sentence adjourned

Two “talented footballers” who assaulted three men and left one with a serious head injury after he was knocked to the ground from a punch have had their sentences adjourned at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.

Robert Killeen (aged 21), who described himself to gardaÍ as “a boxer”, punched Nathan Burke who had tried to drag his friend, Michael Donoghue, away from an altercation with him.
