Vandalism
It\’s very disheartening to have to post these photos but it\’s important that we highlight the inconsiderate nature of whomever thought it was their right to drive onto our 3rd pitch in Fr.Dowling park last night and disrespect the great work that has been done up there. Could you stop and think of the people that this pitch and all our pitches facilitate, they are probably members of your own family and will definitely be someone you know . Our pitches and walking track are for the benefit and enjoyment of our members and we are so lucky and so proud to have such a great facility in our small village we only ask that they are respected and appreciated
