A KEIGHLEY Cougars rugby league player has been disqualified from driving for 12 months after he was found to be more than twice over the legal drink-drive limit following a crash.
Isaac Brown, 19, of Thornbridge Mews, Bolton, Bradford, was stopped when a Ford panel van he was driving mounted the pavement and crashed into a boundary wall in Highfield Road, Idle, on February 1 this year, Bradford and Keighley Magistrates' Court heard today.
Brown, who pleaded guilty, failed a roadside police breath test and was recorded as having 76 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath.
The legal drink drive limit in England is 35 microgrammes of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath.
He was also fined £400 and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £40 victim surcharge.
