A Kilkenny soccer club has released a statement with 'much annoyance and frustration' following a theft from the club's Fair Green pitch.
"Callan United had a orange can recycle bin on the fair green, which we were using to help our continuous fundraising efforts, so all cans collected were going towards this," the club posted to social media.
"Last weekend the bin was just full but when our caretaker came in after the weekend the bin was empty and all the cans gone. This would have been about a hundred euros worth in the recycle bin.
