Video: German Sunday League team have mighty craic on a badly waterlogged pitch after match called off

Never has swimming in incredibly dirty water looked like so much fun.

Never has swimming in incredibly dirty water looked like so much fun.

As anyone that has ever played any sport on a badly waterlogged pitch in Ireland knows, it is obligatory to throw oneself into a big puddle at some stage, preferably as part of a Klinsmann style celebration that will have you shivering for weeks.

A few German lads from a Sunday League team were denied that privilege at the weekend when officials saw sense and actually called off a game because of the state of the pitch (that would rarely happen over here) but they didn’t let that spoil their fun.

Instead, they decided to go for a bit of a dip in the incredibly dirty and shallow puddles by the side of the pitch and judging by the hysterical laughter that ensued, they had some craic doing so as well.

They’ll probably never get those stains out, mind.
