Club Statement

Cliftonville Football Club have been made aware of an incident that occurred at Narrow Water today and allegations of involvement from persons returning from our fixture in Warrenpoint.

Reacting to the reports, Reds Chairman Gerard Lawlor stated: “I totally condemn any act of desecration. We live in a sad society where anyone would get a kick out of desecrating a memorial. If anyone connected with our Club has any information about the incident then they should report it to the PSNI. This pathetic act isn’t in my name nor that of Cliftonville Football Club.”

The Club understands that the matter is now under PSNI investigation and that those involved are not in an affiliated supporters group or Supporters Club.

Cliftonville FC will provide its full cooperation in the investigation of this matter.
