Dog-gone it!
A pooch interrupted a women’s cricket match in Ireland on Saturday, stealing the ball while cracking up players and commentators.
The furry fan flew onto the field mid-play, swiping the ball as a player tried to field it in Saturday’s Women’s All-Ireland T20 Cup semi-final between Bready and Civil Service North.

The dog, who escaped its owner with its leash on, runs across the field as players chase him.
The pooch managed to get a hold of the ball. TwitterA young man who appears to be the dog’s owner springs after the pup, who eventually stops near the wicket.
“I think we’ll retrieve the ball. It may need a clean,” the commentator quipped.
