A POWYS rugby club has slammed vandals after discovering a brand new sign daubed with graffiti on Wednesday.

Club officials were horrified to discover a sign asking members of the public to not exercise their dogs at their Ynyscedwyn Road sign defaced.

The Admiral National League Two West club gave the offender 24 hours to contact them before reporting the crime to the police but with the deadline now passed the club confirmed it has now been passed on to Dyfed Powys Police.

A club spokesman said: "It’s a brand new sign to help keep children and users safe when using the playing fields.

"The club is disappointed and disgusted to suffer more mindless vandalism to our new sign to make sure our children are safe from dog mess."
