Kirkcaldy RFC’s preparations to return to action post lockdown have suffered a set back after Beveridge Park was targeted by vandals.

The ground’s main stand seating area was damaged with seats smashed and panels torn from the roof.

In a post on their Facebook page on Tuesday morning, the club wrote: “We were saddened, when we returned to the club this morning, to discover vandals had smashed up our seating, panels that have been taken off the roof and strewn glass over the playing/training area .

“Having worked hard over the summer getting the club ready for a return, this is very frustrating. This area is used by more than 200 members of the mini and youth teams, along with our senior teams. As we look to return to training shortly, this is frustrating and dangerous.

“The matter has been reported to local police, who are investigating. Being a community based club our ethos is built round teamwork, discipline, commitment, enjoyment and respect. It is frustrating for the volunteers and the club that those choosing to frequent the stand at nights don’t uphold the same values.”
