Heavy going for football

The football pitch at the village sports ground is under several inches of water after the nearby River Wiske burst its banks following heavy rain over the nearby hills. The Wiske is an odd little river, hardly bigger than a beck, but which can carry a lot of floodwater off the moor around Osmotherley.
