TWO men facing an attempted murder charge following a shooting appeared before Teesside Crown Court on Tuesday.
Dean Rye, 33, of Boosbeck Road, Skelton Green, and Anthony Dewing, 20, of Larch Road, Guisborough, are charged with the attempted murder of Anthony Walls, 23, of Auckland Street, Guisborough, on February 4, near the town's rugby club.
Appearing before Judge Peter Fox, they spoke only to confirm their identities.
The defendants' solicitor, Graham Brown, said the charges would be denied.
He did not apply for bail on their behalf but told the court that he anticipated making an application to a judge in chambers over the next few days.
The men are due back in court on May 9.
