Paint pranksters strike football club

30 September 2009

LINE-PAINTING jokers have taken a shot at a football club by drawing a giant penis on its pitch.

A phallus with two massive testicles adorned Worle FC's Station Road ground on Monday morning after the artful pranksters struck.

Worle FC assistant manager Mark Chesney said the club had locked its line painter away for the weekend, so somebody must have brought their own to the ground.

He said: "We reckon it was a jealous player from a rival club and we won't rest until we find out who.

"To be shafted like this is a bitter pill to swallow, it's a balls up which may leave our next fixture in doubt."
