POLICE attended a Co Down football clubhouse at the weekend following a report that Covid-19 regulations were breached.
It is understood officers went to Donaghadee FC's premises during Saturday's televised 'Old Firm' clash between Celtic and Rangers.
The amateur league club is currently managed by loyalist blogger Jamie Bryson, who it is reported spoke to police at the scene.
A spokesman for the PSNI said: “Police attended premises at Parade in Donaghadee on Saturday October 17 after receiving a report of a breach of Covid-19 regulations.
“A number of individuals were spoken to and enquiries into the matter are ongoing.”
In a statement posted on the club's Facebook page, it said police did not enter its premises and no fines were issued.
"The PSNI did not set foot in our premises, did not issue any person with any fixed penalty notice and any assertions to the contrary is utter nonsense and factually incorrect.
"The PSNI - on the street outside of our clubhouse - had a discussion with an individual who kindly outlined for them, due to their apparent confusion, which powers they have, and which powers they do not have.
"They left the street thereafter and we reiterate at no stage did they enter our premises nor issue any fixed penalty notices to any person."
