'All the selfless work undone by brainless thugs': Kilkenny GAA club's pitch damaged by vandals

"All the selfless work that goes into maintaining the place, undone in no time by brainless thugs."

Thomastown GAA Club's pitch was vandalised last night when a jeep drove into their usually idyllic grounds on the banks of the River Nore and performed doughnuts around the rain-sodden pitch.
