St Patrick's GAA club in Ballyragget have issued a hard hitting statement declaring they 'may have no choice' but to ban dogs if 'serial offenders' continue to allow their canine friends to foul on their pitch.
"Unfortunately, dog fouling has become an issue again on the pitches and surrounding areas, creating hygiene concerns for players, children, and the community," the club posted online.
"Under no circumstances can we have dog fouling on the pitches. We appreciate that most owners clean up after their dogs, but a small number are not, causing problems for everyone.

"Although it is only a handful of serial offenders causing the problem it is ruining it for everyone. So please say it to anyone you know who brings there dogs to the field as they may not see this message," they continued.
"Please continue to clean up and take the waste home to keep the grounds and neighbouring fields clean, but it is also important to say it to others!
"We don’t want to ban dogs, but if this continues, we may have no choice. Let’s all do our part, thanks for your cooperation," they concluded.
