The Chairman of the Fr Rocks club in Cookstown, Damien Harvey has stressed that the arson attack on their clubhouse last weekend will not break their spirit. Following the incident that occurred last Saturday night, there has been calls from politicians on both sides of the divide to stop the craziness that has occurred recently as a number of GAA clubs and Orange Order facilities were targeted. However, Harvey admitted that the arson attack on the club came as a great shock, but he was adamant that the club would grow even stronger following the incident. 'It came as a total surprise to us. It was the first time that the club has been targeted. But they can destroy a building but they cannot destroy our spirit,' said Harvey. 'We thought we had taken the necessary safety precautions. But there will always be people determined to wreak havoc.' Tweet
