Four youths are being sought by Gardai after an attempted arson at Kildrum Tigers FC in St Johnston.

Kildrum Tigers has since passed the footage onto An Garda Siochana. 

The club has expressed its anger at the cost of the clean up, saying: “Volunteers at Kildrum Tigers FC will tidy up the mess and organise to repair the damage using money earmarked for other projects.”
