GAA club comes to assistance of soccer club after pitch vandalised

A GAA club has come to the assistance of a soccer club in Cork whose pitch was badly vandalised when a car crashed through locked gates and was driven around the pitch and ultimately set on fire.

The incident happened at the grounds of Grattan United on Kilmore Rd, Cork.

A victim impact statement was prepared on behalf of the club for Cork District Court to inform Judge Olann Kelleher of the impact that the vandalism had on the club, which relies heavily on local fundraising for its survival.
