A NON-LEAGUE clash ground to a halt after a player suffered a bizarre injury from a rogue WATER BOTTLE.
Bamber Bridge took on Basford United in the Northern Premier League on Saturday.
The game ended in a 3-2 defeat for Bamber but only after the game suffered a delay in the first half.
The pause was caused by an injury to one player but then extended due to another off the ball.
A video shared by Basford showed Bamber star Adam Dodd fall to the ground during the break.
After closer inspection, it was seen that a flying WATER BOTTLE hit him in the face.

The defender was walking to the touchline, looking at his hands, when one of the coaches threw him the bottle.
Unaware of the bottle, Dodd was unable to stop it and took a blow to the face.
Water was visibly spilling out of the full bottle as Dodd fell to the ground, holding his face – while the person who threw it didn’t seem bothered at all.
The referee and physios from both players checked on him to make sure he was OK.
