This is the moment two rival yacht clubs faced off for very unusual cricket game, on a sandbank in the middle of the Solent, yesterday morning.

The low tide saw the return of the annual competition between Royal Southern Yacht Club (RSYC) and their friendly rivals the Island Sailing Club (ISC). 

Stunning drone footage showed the competitors running through the sand and puddles on Bramble Bank, a shifting sandbank in the water between Southampton and the Isle of Wight. 

Dozens of spectators watch the game unfold from the sidelines as the teams attempt to outrun each other.  

They arrived in a flotilla at dawn for the popular sporting event, which was cancelled last year due to coronavirus. 

Despite the fierce rivalry between the RSYC, based in Hamble, and the ISC, based in Cowes, the game's winner is already predetermined. (Daily Mail)
