A perimeter fence has been damaged and a dugout set on fire at a Co Derry GAA club which has blasted it as a “deplorable act of vandalism”.

St Canice’s GAC in Dungiven said the incident at the Páirc na nÓg ground happened on Monday evening and it urged the public to “stand against this type of anti-social behaviour”.

Sinn Féin councillor Sean McGlinchey told BBC Radio Foyle’s North West Today programme that he believed the fire was started by young people using fireworks.

The Fire Service said they received a call about a fire off the Garvagh Road at about just before 8 pm on Monday and crews from Dungiven attended.

In a statement, the club said: “Fencing around the grounds has been damaged in several areas, and one of the dugouts has been set on fire.

“Páirc na nÓg is a vital asset within our community, used daily not only by our club but also by schools and other clubs in the town and surrounding areas.

“These facilities are offered free of charge to local clubs and schools, and we have worked hard to improve them in recent years.”
