A football club in Newport are appealing for information after their pitch was damaged by vandals.\u00a0<\/strong>
\nCrindau Corries AFC said they are devastated after a 4×4 vehicle drove onto their pitch in the Malpas area, leaving the grass scarred by tyre tracks.
\nFootage shared on social media shows the car driving across the middle of the pitch.
\nThe club say they pay thousands of pounds a year so that local people can play football and they have little money available for repairs.
\nThe team are currently in third place of their division in the Newport and District League and with two games in hand are hoping to secure the top spot.
\nThey need to use the pitch for both training and matches but the recent damage has ruined any chance of them being able to use the ground.

This just got sent to me and I’m absolutely devastated what I’m watching. We pay \u00a31000s every year so our lads can have a game of football and it’s ruined by some dick heads thinking it’s funny ripping up our pitch. Can every RT this hopefully we can catch the pricks!!! pic.twitter.com\/ITTJTiPN09<\/a><\/p>\n

\nClub sponsors, Niche, an independent financial advice firm, said the vandalism was a “mindless act”.
\nJoseph Williams, Marketing Manager, said: “To put it simply, it’s totally unnecessary. We condemn what’s happened but it’s not just Crindau Corries’ pitch it’s also a public playing field so it’s affecting the entire community.”
\nThis incident is the latest in a series of anti-social behaviour issues across the Newport and Cardiff area.
\nA spokesman for Gwent Police said they were made aware of a video on social media of a 4×4 vehicle driving on a football pitch in Malpas, Newport.
\nShe said: “Neighbourhood Officers have viewed the footage and are working to identify those involved.\u00a0Anyone with information is asked to call 101 quoting log 288 of 11\/03\/2019.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
