Notorious Hibs casuals are battered in battle of Bennidorm after clashing with rival 'firm' in Spain

AROUND 100 football thugs head abroad to celebrate the anniversary of the CCS but they meet their match when they run into a mob from Leeds United.
Police swarmed the area after the violence on Friday night.
It is understood at least one Hibs fan was arrested after the melee.
A source said: “There was a very large group of Hibs fans who went to Benidorm to celebrate 30 years of the CCS. It was essentially a jolly.
“Although there were current CCS members among them, most were older men with families. They weren’t looking for trouble on the holiday.”
Another witness added: “It was older Hibs guys who were attacked by the bigger Leeds gang. It looked like a bad one but they all scattered as soon as the police arrived.”
A third holidaymaker posted on Twitter: “Hibs casuals caused mayhem outside the Ibrox Bar last night. Still police tape all over the pavement.”
A Foreign Office spokesman said: “We are aware of reports of an incident involving British nationals in Benidorm and we stand by to provide consular assistance.”
Many of the Hibs group flew home to watch their team face Hamilton Accies in the Premiership play-off on Sunday – and the misery continued when they were relegated after losing 4-3 on penalties.
