Ball floats to Germany

A football belonging to a British church team has washed up across the North Sea on the shores of a small German island. Josh Holebon, manager of Stalham Baptist Church FC, in Norfolk, said it was a mystery how it got there. He received an unexpected email last month from Thomas Selinger, who lives in Freiburg and who found the ball when visiting Baltrum Island. The ball was marked “Stalham Baptist” and he made contact online.
