Members of the popular Cockbeck Bowling Club were picking up the pieces this afternoon after yobbos entered the green and broke into the pavilion.
The facility's used by three local bowling clubs and can ill afford attacks like this which saw rubbish strewn in the corner of the green where the offenders had been smoking and drinking after climbing over a nearby wall.
Police attended this morning and a number of evidential pictures were taken; club members might attend Aughton PC a week tonight to ask for funding to increase security at the club that's sited behind the community Co op on Town Green Lane.
