TYRONE midfielder Colm Cavanagh says his club, Moy GAA Club, will bounce back from the second arson attack on their facilities in the space of just six months.

The attack came just a fortnight after the newly renovated facility was reopened following a similar incident last September.

“The club will (bounce back),” insisted Cavanagh. “I spoke about the whole GAA community and so any people have helped us out in so many ways over the last few months. They’ve helped us get back on our feet and I have no doubt that there’ll be no problem getting the club back to where it needs to be.

"The club had no gym, we had one open and the lads were really looking forward to working in it because strength and conditioning is such a big part of football now. That’s going to be a set-back for us on that side of things, but hopefully we can get it sorted, move forward, and put it behind us.”

Cavanagh admitted the latest attack was difficult to take for everyone associated with the club because they had made such an effort to renovate their premises in recent months.

“Second time in six months…it’s a difficult one. The club room were up and going after the first attack, reopened about two weeks ago, and the gym have a club put up externally beside the club house.

“It was attacked again a couple of nights ago, burnt the place, and it’s gone. The gym only opened on February 1 for all the lads and it’s gone again - the whole things has been burnt and it will be another while before it’s up and running again. It’s disappointing to see that happening. It will set the club back again for another while.

“The GAA community has been phenomenal. Anything that has been required from anyone around the area, people are happy to help. They have been great trying to get us back on our feet and I’m hoping that is going to continue. I’m sure it’s going to continue in the coming months until we’re back up and running again.”
