Locals have been left 'heartbroken' after their cricket club's pitch was 'broken into' by travellers parking vans on the pitch.
Plymstock Cricket Club says a 'group of travellers' gained access to their green on July 28 and have since set up an unauthorised encampment on the field.
The club, which is based in Plymouth, claimed members of the group have been 'throwing rocks' at passers-by and warned residents to 'stay clear and stay safe'.
It says that as a result of the incursion it has had to cancel all fixtures 'for the foreseeable future', with the tennis and football teams also affected.
In a statement on social media, the club said: 'Unfortunately our pitch has been broken onto and we now have a group of travellers setting up camp.
