A man is being questioned in Northern Ireland after teenage footballers from the Republic came under sectarian attack during an international tournament in Coleraine, Co Derry.
An under-16 and and an under-14 team, both from Dublin, were moved from their accommodation beside the University of Ulster in Coleraine for their safety.
A 19-year-old man was arrested after stones were thrown and sectarian abuse shouted at the children who were competing in the annual Milk Cup international youth football tournament.
The attack happened at around 10.30pm last night at Cromore Court, near the loyalist Ballysally estate, where Crumlin United and Cherry Orchard's youth teams were staying.
A police spokeswoman confirmed the PSNI was investigating the incident.
Cherry Orchard manager Paul Clare said the incident had upset some of the children.
Mr Clare said one drunken man was singing sectarian songs while their accommodation came under attack from stones.
