SHANNON TOWN UTD have decided to lock their gates after their club pitch was “absolutely destroyed”.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Shannon club confirmed that they were locking the gates of Lynch Park going forward when training sessions and matches are not taking place.
This decision was made by the club committee after Lynch Park was “absolutely destroyed by a group of teenagers playing on it in this horrendous weather”.
“A huge amount of time, effort and money goes into maintaining the two pitches, to try and provide the best playing facilities we can for all our teams the whole year round. As much as we encourage and promote kids to be out practicing, we cannot allow Lynch Park to be used. We now have no choice but to lock the gates going forward,” the statement added.
