A GAA club has been targeted in what it called a “deplorable act of vandalism”, with a perimeter fence damaged and a dugout set on fire.<\/p>\n

St Canice’s GAC in Dungiven said the incident at the P\u00e1irc na n\u00d3g ground happened on Monday evening and it urged the public to “stand against this type of anti-social behaviour”. <\/p>\n

Sinn F\u00e9in councillor Sean McGlinchey told BBC Radio Foyle’s North West Today programme<\/a> that he believed the fire was started by young people using fireworks. <\/p>\n

The Northern Ireland Fire Service (NIFRS) said they received a call about a fire off the Garvagh Road at about 19:56 BST on Monday and crews from Dungiven attended.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“P\u00e1irc na n\u00d3g 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.<\/p>\n

“These facilities are offered free of charge to local clubs and schools, and we have worked hard to improve them in recent years.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
