Accused cricket match invaders remanded
Two men charged with pitch invasion at the opening game of the Cricket World Cup in Christchurch have been remanded without plea at the Christchurch District Court. Ephraim James McIntyre, 26, of Richmond, was remanded without plea to March 6 when he made a brief appearance before Judge Raoul Neave.
Bail was granted for the remand, which is to allow McIntyre to apply for legal aid.
A Woolston man also charged with invading the pitch at the same match was granted a registrar’s remand, on bail, to March 5.
Joseph Brook, 22, entered no plea to the charge under the Major Events Management Act. The charges relate to the match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka at Hagley Oval on February 14, which was attended by a crowd of 17,500 people.
