A Gaelic football match had to be abandoned in Canada after a pair of black bears invaded the pitch.

The third round of the Vancouver Senior Ladies Championship between St Finnian’s and Éire Óg at Burnaby Lakes was called off after the two “lively” bears wandered onto the playing field “looking for a long ball into the square.”
