Vandals targeted Armagh Cricket Club under the cover of darkness on Saturday.
Unfortunately, the Club is no stranger to wanton vandalism of its equipment – or clubhouse – on The Mall.
Sadly, the club’s hierarchy spent another Sunday morning picking up the pieces of a weekend rampage.
“It’s hugely disappointing and disheartening to arrive on the Mall this morning and find more overnight vandalism,” they wrote on Sunday.
Their new practice net was moved out of its roped off area, which appears to have been cut, and the net was pushed over, potentially causing major structural damage.
The Club continued: “This wouldn’t have been one person on their own or small children, so for people to go out of their way to do this on a Saturday night is a sad reflection on our society.
“We have notified the Police Armagh, Banbridge & Craigavon who will be making enquiries and collecting CCTV footage.
“If you know anything about this or who might be involved please let the police or us know.”
If you have any information, please call police on 101.
