A Dublin football club has expressed disgust after their playing pitches were destroyed by vandals once again.
Swords Manor Football Club has highlighted the damage caused to the side of the pitch by people branded "local idiots" by club organisers. The club will now have to dig out extra finances to pay for the reparations, Dublin Live reports.
They posted pictures of the damage on Facebook. The club said: "This is what greeted us this morning as we arrived at our pitches. Another night of destruction by the local idiots."

Five-a-side football games are played there as well as the club's Under-7, Under-8 and Under-9 teams making use of it.
The club expressed their anger at the total bill that will have to be spent on fixing the playing surface. They stressed: "More money wasted on pitch repairs, money which should be spent on equipment for the kids."
However, the club addressed their members, letting them know they will be back up and running again soon.
They said: "Pitches will be seeded and sanded by our volunteers today and hopefully back up and running as soon as possible."
Supportive comments flooded in for the Dublin football side, after the incident.
One person stated that it was "absolutely disgraceful," while another wrote: "soul destroying time after time."
Another woman described the incident of vandalism as "disgusting".
