Police and Royal Logistics Corps personnel were in attendance at the pitch, known as the Coo Park, just after 1pm today to deal with what turned out to be a Second World War hand grenade.
A workman from a nearby housing development said: “The Royal Logistics Corps bomb disposal told me it was a hand grenade and they would only be 10 minutes. Then two minutes later I heard the bang.
“They set it off in the bushes.”
