Rugby Club Targeted by Vandals
The club’s senior players have worked to make the area safe for use
Western Vikings’ training ground was damaged over the Easter weekend, with people causing considerable damage.
There was also offensive graffiti marks left, while communal area under the shelter and one of the club’s storage containers were also damaged.
Anyone with info is asked to contact Peel Police.
In a post on Facebook, the club said: ‘As a community club, this is deeply saddening. Lots of people give up their time for free to try and provide opportunities for people in Peel and the west of the island. Putting things right takes money, time, and resources we don’t necessarily have. Our thanks to the Western Neighbourhood Community Policing Team, who have been working with us to try and identify individuals who might have been involved.
‘However, every time we suffer a setback, we tend to come back stronger. Our thanks to our senior players, who spent time before training making the space acceptable and safe for all to use again, in particular our youngest members who resume training this Saturday after the Easter break.’
