Thugs threaten officials at match

SECTARIAN thugs who attacked a group of Dublin children at an international soccer tournament in the north also threatened to kneecap officials, it was revealed.

Police arrested one man after the junior footballers from Dublin — some as young as 13 — fled their accommodation at the University of Ulster, Coleraine, during the night.

A match in the Milk Cup, one of Europe’s premier youth football tournaments, was postponed to allow the children to get over their ordeal.
