Assault on jockeys

I can’t get those links mjk what’s happened?

Gardaí are hunting a gang of thugs who attacked two talented Irish jockeys – days after they starred at Cheltenham.

The Irish Mirror has established that Jack Kennedy and Sam Ewing were attacked in the centre of Naas, Co Kildare early last Monday morning. Sources say the pair, who both won races for Gordon Elliott at the Cheltenham Festival that had finished three days earlier, were attacked by a mob of young men from another part of Kildare.

It’s understood comments were made to the men about their performances at the festival – even though both rode winners. “There were ridiculous comments made about Cheltenham,” a source said.

Attacked by landfill material….

Can't understand why anyone would make light of 2 people getting attacked.

Hope they are both okay and the culprits dealt with

if you're a recognisable jockey there's always going to be one of two wanting to have a pop.  not sure if wandering the streets of naas after kicking out time at a nightclub is the best way to avoid a bunch of pis5ed up ar5eholes looking for trouble.

yep best avoiding oisin murphy in a pub never mind outside after kicking out time

I guess the RP get their stories on here. They have reported this at 18.00 today

LGBT related…nothing to see here.

Good luck to Sam and Jack
