BEANACRE cricket captain Andy Footner had enough trouble with a duck on Saturday, without having to worry about a swan.

Beanacre's Wiltshire League match against Seagry had to be halted several times to clear the invader off the pitch before the RSPCA were called to take the bird away.

Footner, who lost his wicket for a duck, said: "It was very funny seeing some of the players chasing the swan round the pitch trying to get hold of it.

"But with that and my duck I had had enough of birds by the end of the match."
