Oystercatcher eggs on Dumfries pitch hit football fixtures

It is believed that the oystercatcher has nested its eggs near to the centre circle on the 3G artificial pitch.

Threave Rovers confirmed the unusual reason for the game cancellation on their Facebook page.

It said Dumfries and Galloway Council had been left with “no option” but to close the facility ahead of the weekend’s football fixtures.

The club said the Scottish SPCA was dealing with the situation but it could take up to 28 days to be sorted.

The Castle Douglas team tried to arrange an alternative venue for its Friday night fixture but had been unable to do so.

“A very unfortunate event for all involved”, the statement added.
