The Gweedore player’s brother, Stephen, of Upper Brinaleck, Gweedore, pleaded guilty to one count of assault using harm, according to local media.
Shaun Maguire of Ardsbeg, Gortahork, admitted using threatening behaviour in a public place while his brother Michael Maguire pleaded guilty to causing an affray with two or more other people, threatening unlawful violence.
The case is adjourned until July.
Kevin Cassidy is no longer part of the county’s senior set up since he was axed from the squad by manager Jim McGuinness.
The 30-year-old was perceived by the coach to have broken the trust of the panel, last autumn, by cooperating with a behind-the-scenes book on last season’s Ulster championship.
He had scored a stunning, last-minute point against Kildare to send Donegal into the All-Ireland semi-finals last summer.
