THUGS PLOUGH UP SOCCER PITCH
By Sarah Murphy
A soccer pitch was damaged by thugs who used a stolen tractor to cause thousands of Euros of damage.
It is understood a group of youths broke into Southend United's grounds at Kilbarry, in Waterford City, breaking through a barrier fence.
They then drove across the playing pitch, and crashed the stolen vehicle into the club's changing rooms.
The pitch was torn up, and a brick wall at the back of the changing rooms was destroyed.
Gardai are investigating the incident. It was the second such incident at a soccer ground in Waterford City in the past year.
A spokesman for the Gardai said "We are looking closely at the movements of the local members of the Irish Colchester United Supporters Club. They are a bit wild, and not that good with their geography, especially after a drop o' Guiness and a quick flirt with the sheep."
