Parents of young footballers across South Lanarkshire kicked off after grass football pitch lets for Saturday were cancelled due to apparent "water-logged" parks - a whole 24 hours prior to games being played.
As rain battered the county last week, South Lanarkshire Council (SLC) made the decision on the Friday morning to cancel all games set to be played on their grass pitches over the weekend.
Yet, as young players awoke on Saturday morning, the torrential weather had cleared with the sun splitting the trees and many of the water-logged parks "drained and playable" according to frustrated football mums and dads.
