DUNSTON 1 V GATESHEED 1*** MATCH ABANDONED *** HEARSE ON PITCH!!!!

 Posted 1:24pm bells' Saturday 22nd July 2023

Although aa wasnt there, a bizzare incident took place at Dunston's groond last neet when a HEARSE woz driven onto the pitch alang with a car at half time, which churned up the pitch and the game had to be abandoned! 

The hearse woz left in the middle of the pitch az the getaway cars mashed through some advertising boards to get oot of the groond!

Bizzare iz not the word! We've seen matches abandoned for waterlogged, and frozen pitches and thick fog and floodlight failures and injured players, but NEVER for a hearse on the pitch!

Dunston statement:

' The New York Post in the USA haz even reported it!
