'CARRIGSTOWN' student Mark is in trouble again - this time with school managers.

They fear that students are following his 'Fair City' example and starting their own 'copycat' fight clubs in post primary schools around the country.

Already a small number of principals have reported that fights are being deliberately set up, according to Michael Moriarty, general secretary of the Irish Vocational Education Association.

"I've been told of fights being staged where the students are aping what happened on 'Fair City,'" he said.
