Football kicked into sea in Dublin washes up in another country: 'We're surprised to find it'

A family in Wales discovered a football which washed up 80 miles from its team's home in Ireland - after floating across the Irish Sea.

Andrew Jones and his son, Celyn, 12, were "very surprised" to discover the ball on the small beach Porth y Nant, in Nant Gwrtheryn, on Easter Sunday.

The football - which has seen better days - is clearly marked Finglas United, a club based in Dublin founded in 2015.

Andrew, who runs the local Pengraig Campsite, said: "It's a beautiful little cove, you have to climb down a cliff to get there. It's a special spot - where else in the world would you want to be!"
