The scheduled game between Old Boys and Malew today had to be called off due to someone vandalising the pitch.

The two teams had been scheduled to play at Blackberry Lane today in the FA Cup but the game had to be postponed after someone drove over Old Boys’ pitch.

The club had informed the police, however an individual has come forward to admit causing the damage which can be seen in a video by Paul Turner that was widely shared on social media as residents and other clubs condemned the damage down to the pitch.

It comes after a spate of similar incidents last year when clubs in the island saw pitches being driven over and damaged.

The Isle of Man FA has confirmed that the scheduled Women’s League match between Old Boys and Douglas Royal, due to be played on Sunday has also been postponed as a result of the damage to the pitch.
