A cheeky toddler ran away with a corner flag - causing an amusing hold-up to a football match in Ireland.

The adorable little hooligan grabbed the item just as the ball went out of play in a cup game between Cork City Women and DLR Waves from Dublin on June 17.

As a player waited to take a throw in - the game could not restart without the corner flag in place - the little lad made a beeline for a nearby embankment while swirling around the pole.

Footage from the club's in-house coverage shows how one spectator tried to retrieve the accessory but quickly backed off, fearing he could fall victim to the terrible toddler's makeshift toy.

However, a second man in a green t-shirt and backpack successfully wrestled the flag away from the youngster so the team's female defender could take a throw-in.

The commentator said: 'We're looking for a flag I think. Back underway here after a brief stoppage, a toddler had run off with the corner flag.'

The All-Island Cup football, or soccer, match finished 2-1 to the home side Cork.
