Cocaine addiction amongst young people in rural Ireland is preventing some football clubs fielding full teams.

That's the warning from the Catholic Auxiliary Bishop of Armagh, who says drug abuse is now a 'silent pandemic' and more needs to be done to tackle the problem.

Bishop Michael Router says drug abuse is a huge issue.

"You know places are struggling perhaps to field a football team because so many of the players of that age are on drugs or addicted to cocaine - and they're struggling to field a fully fit team."
