A team's football pitch has been left submerged by flood-water.

The Banbury Plant Hire Community Stadium, which is home to Banbury United, is underwater following heavy rain.

The club, nicknamed the Puritans, have said they will most likely need some help to clear up when the water subsides.

They are due to host Peterborough Sports in the Vanarama National League North on Saturday.
