Convoy Arsenal FC to put in CCTV following vandalism at club ground

Some of the broken glass found at Orchard Park in Convoy

Convoy Arsenal Football Club say they will install CCTY after finding broken glass from bottles on the playing fields and surrounding area from late-night drinking. 

The Donegal League club have stressed that their facility at Orchard Park is for the local community to use at designated times.

"It's unfortunate that we have to write this post as some people think it's okay to use our grounds for self-use," they posted. "It's bad enough but to leave broken glass on the side of the pitch where kids and adults play is extremely dangerous and could cause serious harm to an individual.



"We have taken the decision to install CCTV around the grounds so we would kindly ask people to have respect for the grounds we have. We have a small committee and a small group of coaches working extremely hard on and off the pitch to better our facilities and players."
