DUDLEY Hill Rangers under-tens had a very unusual reason for kicking off late against Manningham All Stars in the Bradford & District Keybury League.
The match was delayed due to a pitch invasion from 17 horses but once they were rounded up and tethered, Rangers found their rhythm, running out 5-0 victors .
Both teams agreed to play nine-a-side in preparation for next season, and the goal-scorers were Joshua McGinty (2), Callum Thornton, Dominic Parish and George Edge.
