Games were called off across the country due to the stormy conditions.

And non-league side Lydney Town saw yesterday’s home fixture against Roman Glass St George among the matches that were called off.

A football was booted into the middle of the flooded field.

And several dived into the water before swimming around in joy

Fans certainly found the moment amusing.
