Tuam Stadium vandalism

A stadium which recently staged its first Allianz League match in a couple years after a redevelopment programme that was driven by a huge voluntary local effort has been vandalised in Galway.

The damage to the surface of Tuam Stadium is being assessed amid fears that fixtures, including All-Ireland schools games and Connacht minor and U-20 championships, scheduled for the north Galway venue in the coming weeks may have to be switched.
