Wrexham,North Wales - 'Wrexham hooligans' fight in frightening Dublin street brawl

The footage is said to show Dragons fans and Bury FC supporters among the brawling rivals


Wrexham hooligans were allegedly involved in a mass Dublin street brawl which was captured on camera.
A video shows rival gangs of supporters, including Dragons and Bury FC fans, clashing in the street on Friday, October 7, following Shamrock Rovers’ defeat to Bohemians in a League of Ireland match.
Punches are seen to be thrown, glass is heard smashing, and the two sides scream at each other as terrified members of the public try to avoid the scene.
Wrexham supporters have formed allegiances with Bohs fans while Bury FC supporters have alliances with Rovers and they travel to each other's games.
The trouble flared after undercover Wrexham fans posing as Bury supporters reportedly convinced staff at a Dublin hotel to give them a flag brought over by their English rivals.
According to reports on Ireland’s Sunday World website, it was ripped up during the match in Dalymount and ended up in the hands of unwitting Bohs players.
A video recorded by Sérgio Reis Filho of the subsequent clash on Dorset Street, appeared on the Living Dublin Altogether Facebook page.
The frightening fight scenes were branded “Not funny this time: Fight between gangs last night on Dorset Street” by the page’s organisers.
Sources have told the Daily Post it was Wrexham hooligans who stole the flag and were involved in the violence.
Bohs and Rovers fans are renowned for having one of the most intense rivalries in Irish football, which has sometimes spilled over into violence.
Wrexham’s alliance with the Bohs goes back about 10 years.
A spokesman for the Irish police force Garda said: “While we are aware of a disturbance, there were no arrests or reports of anyone injured.”
Wrexham AFC declined to comment.
North Wales Police say they have not been informed about the incident.
