Storm Henk floods Worsbrough Bridge Athletic's Park Road ground

The club's ground is located next to the River Dove

A South Yorkshire football club has suffered "horrendous" flooding at its ground for the sixth successive year.

Parts of Barnsley-based Worsbrough Bridge Athletic's pitch were left underwater for the second time in four months following Storm Henk.

The club's ground is located at the lowest point of the River Dove, according to chairman Mark Booth.

Worsbrough Bridge manager Lee Morris said the regular flooding was "an absolute nightmare".

The club's pitch was also waterlogged following Storm Babet in October.

Worsbrough Bridge Athletic's pitch regularly suffers from flooding

Mr Booth said the ground had flooded at least once every year in the last five years, leading Barnsley East MP, Stephanie Peacock, to raise the issue of support for community groups who suffer "consistent flooding" in Parliament.

Mr Morris described the latest flood as "horrendous" and added: "We have just got to wait for the river at the side to lower.

"While the river is high it [the water] will stay where it is. It's an absolute nightmare."

The club's next home match is due to take place on 13 January.

"It's got a lot of drying out to do before next Saturday," Mr Morris said.
