Páirc Mhíc Sioghar;

We do not like having to come on social media or approach the press, however, tonight after vandalism and anti-social behaviour around the club grounds we, the Sigersons Committee feel like we have no other option.

We provide some of the best facilities in Ulster, maybe even Ireland for Gaelic Games for the people of Strabane and surrounding areas.

To see our facilities treated the way they have been by a very small minority of our young people is extremely disappointing and frustrating.

This week we have seen glass bottles smashed on our playing surfaces, damage around the clubhouse and to electricity ports.

This electricity port was destroyed and now has to be replaced.

The problem with this type of damage is the risk of serious injury or worse to users of our facilities.

Last year we installed CCTV and we have captured many of the incidents. As a club we do not want to take this any further.

We love seeing young people making use of our facilities. This is what the GAA is all about. We would like to have every child in Strabane at our grounds and taking part in Gaelic Games!

Please ensure your child knows the severity of these incidents and the danger that tampering with electrical ports could do. We don't want to have to close our gates over this vandalism but if it continues we will be left with no option.
