VANDALS did serious damage to the cricket pitches at YMCA. Weedkiller was poured all over the playing area on Wednesday night. Wickets were damaged as the vandals zigzagged the weedkiller over the square. The club, is due to play their first home game on Saturday against North County but this will go ahead.
"We’re disgusted and dismayed at this orchestrated attack on our club", said official James Fitzgerald.
"It is the start of our season and a huge amount of work has gone into preparing the facilities and a lot of that good work has now been undone.
"We have lodged a report with gardai in Irishtown and so we would appeal to anyone with information to pass it on to them.
"CCTV footage will be reviewed and we will leave no stone unturned to ensure the culprits are identified."
