TWO brothers have been warned they will be jailed when they are sentenced for a pub brawl.
Karl Sowden, 38, of Greenbank Road, and Matthew Sowden, 36, of Corporation Road, both Darlington, were involved in the fight at the town's Highland Laddie pub on March 25.

The brothers were remanded in custody for three weeks while probation officers prepare pre-sentence reports.
The Recorder of Middlesbrough, Judge Peter Fox, said: "I think you both know you face prison sentences.
