A 19-YEAR-OLD Hamilton man faced the Hamilton Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday on charges of affray and unlawful assault after two brawls broke out at the Western Speedway racetrack earlier this year.

Jye Irving pleaded guilty to the charges and had an application for diversion rejected by the Magistrate due to the seriousness of the charges.
