The PSNI are at the scene of a security alert at the home of East Belfast GAA.
A police spokesperson said: “Police are currently at the scene of a security alert after receiving a report that devices have been left at playing fields in the Church Road area of east Belfast.
"The public are advised to avoid the area at this time. Further updates will be issued in due course.”
It marks the latest incident targeting the club over recent years since it was founded back in 202.
The latest incident in May saw an alert at the ground eventually declared an elaborate hoax and condemned right across the political spectrum.
In August last year, police launched a hate crime probe after the club’s nets were set on fire and destroyed.
Hoax bomb alerts in September and May 2023 forced officials to close the pitches for a period of time to allow Army bomb experts to examine the scene on both occasions.

Gazmac as usual trying to defend this.
The racist riots occurring are likely empowering this nonsense.
The threat was delivered in a letter to a DUP MLA that stated 4 devices were left at the playing fields. There is also mention of burning to the ground any “fenian” school that may be built in the area.
Shout out to the Coolock lads fucking mugs
People who live in East Belfast use these fields, they’re harming their own community. Bunch of sad cowards who have nothing to offer society.
The GAA team is bringing everyone together.
I’d love to know how much money has been wasted by these useless cunts and their bomb hoaxes. Same fuckers will be gurning about money being wasted on Casement etc
I feel sorry for the club, as a former member they are always up against it and can’t catch a break
It’s just hurling for fuck sake.
Would have been nice to have a quiet Monday in Belfast.
These guys are obviously every bit the geniuses we expected them to be! Leaving 4 explosive devices at sports pitches, in their own community, during school summer holidays, what could possibly go wrong?
Beside an integrated school. Granted the kids are off on holiday but still, fucking shameful.
