Two arrested for Thomond Park vandalism

Two youths were arrested by gardaí this morning in connection with last month's attack by vandals at Limerick's historic rugby ground, Thomond Park.

Up to €20,000 worth of damage was caused on September 14 last when hundreds of sods of turf were dug up on the main playing pitch. The damage, which was carried out in broad day light, ran the whole length of the pitch and resulted in the cancellation of a number of fixtures due to be played at the Limerick rugby venue.
