Football match in river draws huge crowds in Cotswold village
Footballers waded through water as part of an annual traditional River Windrush match in Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucestershire.
The long-standing tradition sees goalposts placed into the shallow waters of the river, with the two sides – who are both part of Bourton Rovers Football Club – playing a 30-minute game.
Right from the start of the match on Monday, the footballers battled it out to gain possession of the ball and seemed to make a splash with crowds, who looked on excitedly.
One team wore bright orange tops with yellow shorts while the other donned a royal blue kit.
