Portadown FC voices concerns over trespassing at Shamrock Park

Portadown Football Club says it is "very concerned" by a recent influx of trespassing at Shamrock Park.

The Premiership club said there have been incidents of young people breaking into the ground.

They have urged parents to ensure their children do not enter the premises, especially with ongoing chemical works being carried out on the pitch during the off-season.
