An impromptu game of football was called to a sudden halt after police were called to an Aughton bowling green.
Up to fifteen lads were using the Winfred Lane green behind the village hall for the game on Monday night when someone called the cops who asked them to move on - which they did.
It's thought a number of the youngsters were friends from Merchant Taylors, hence their well mannered response; one by stander said one of the lads was playing in '£1,000 trainers'.
"I'm lucky if I pay £50 for mine," he told QLocal's Roger Blaxall.
