A CHAOTIC brawl outside Mr Smith's nightclub led to four guilty pleas to affray.
Two groups of people began fighting by the canal at around 2am earlier this year.
Only four of around eight participants appeared at Warrington Crown Court - two from each side of the fight.
They were brother and sister Jamie and Kelly Murray, and friends Christopher Jolley and Myles Smethurst.
An unknown person threw the first blow - but the court heard the defendants were willing participants in the fight that followed.
Jolley, aged 25, from Newlands Road, was sentenced to 150 hours' community work.
Smethurst, aged 23, from Greenway, was sentenced to a 12-month supervision order and attendance on a substance-related offending program.
Jamie Murray, aged 19, from Secker Avenue, was sentenced to 150 hours' community work.
Kelly Murray, aged 22, also from Secker Avenue, was sentenced to 100 hours' community work.
