There have been challenging conditions for professional sports pitches across the country this past week with the nationwide snowy conditions.

A game which managed to get underway last Tuesday evening February 27th, was Peterborough vs Walsall in League One.

However, Peterborough were 2-1 up having failed to win a game in their previous seven, when referee Lee Swabey called a halt to proceedings with around 10 minutes left to play.

As heavy snow fell at the ABAX Stadium, the referee told players that the match could only continue if the lines were visible.

Not wanting to forfeit 3 valuable points, 32-year-old defender Steven Taylor and forward Morias picked up some shovels and helped clear the lines of snow, alongside the Peterborough groundstaff.

Their hard work paid off as the match reached its conclusion ensuring Peterborough gained a valuable win.

Caretaker manager David Oldfield told reporters post-match, "When the referee stopped play, he told us that we had five minutes to clear the lines of snow.

"Everybody leapt into action from office staff to stewards, and from ground staff to players. It showed the togetherness this football club has."
