Dublin Fans Chip-In On Derry Bar Attack
Dublin soccer fans have raised money to help repair damage caused to a Londonderry bar after other visiting fans got involved in pre-match trouble.
Bohemian Football Club supporters raised almost 1,000 euros for the owner of the Tavern bar whose premises were damaged last week.
Four men were jailed after other supporters of the Dublin club attacked the premises prior to a game against Derry City last Tuesday evening.
As a result, other fans contributed 953 euros at last week’s match against Galway United.
The donation will be brought to Derry this week, when Bohemians play Derry City in a league fixture.
Meanwhile, two of the four men convicted over the attack on the bar have been granted bail to appeal their three-month prison sentence for criminal damage and riotous behaviour.
