and live on Freeview channel 276
Funny footage has emerged showing the world's first own goal - in a rugby match. Coaches said they had ‘never seen anything like it' following the unfortunate turn of events during the Hawick Youth and Gala Wanderers game in the Borders Semi Junior League in Scotland.
In the dying moments of the match earlier this year, Gala scored a try to make it 31-33 with the conversion still to take. However, after the kick, the ball was falling well short meaning victory for Hawick Youth. That was until a Hawick player's premature celebrations saw him hoof the ball away, straight over the crossbar.
