Watch: Shrewsbury Town stars tackle bubble football fun
Shrewsbury Town players had such a ball trying out bubble football they have invited the inflatable spheres onto the pitch to entertain fans at half time.
Ed Ryder, owner of West Midlands Bubble Football, rolled down to Lilleshall National Sports Centre when Shrewsbury Town Football Club was training.
And after a wet session on the pitch the players could not wait to try out the spectacular spheres.
Ryan Woods, Mark Ellis and Mickey Demetriou were among those who got stuck into the action.
And they enjoyed themselves so much they have arranged for the balls to appear at the Greenhous Meadow at half time during the Shrewsbury versus Wycombe match on December 28.
Mr Ryder, of Shrewsbury said: "The training session was over at the still very impressive Lilleshall National Sports Centre where although a little wet, everyone that had a go had a smile on the face and a good laugh.
"We had eight of the 10 Shrewsbury players in the bubbles over the course of the session.
"They all had great fun - perhaps a little too much fun sometimes as Micky Mellon could be heard in the background every few minutes saying 'go steady lads'.
"After giving the lads a quick demo and some safety points they were quick to get into the swing of things and their competitive spirit came to the front at times.
"The players weren't allowed too long away from training, but they did manage to have a try at our game the gauntlet.
"We adapted it from the tv show, Gladiators, where one challenger has to run through or round the five others in front of him who line up one by one in order to get to the other side.
"Ryan Woods nifty footwork was very impressive here.
"I would like to say a big thank you to Micky Mellon for letting this happen and Jamie Edwards from Shrewsbury Town Comunity Trust which is in partnership with West Midlands Bubble Football."
