The game ended in a 3-2 defeat for Bamber but only after the game suffered a delay in the first half.
The pause was caused by an injury to one player but then extended by another off the ball.
A video shared by Basford showed Bamber star Adam Dodd fall to the ground during the break.
After closer inspection, it was seen that a flying WATER BOTTLE hit him in the face.
The defender was talking to the touchline, looking at his hands, when one of the coaches threw him the bottle.
Unaware of the bottle, Dodd was unable to stop it and took a blow to the face.
Water was visibly spilling out of the full bottle as Dodd fell to the ground, holding his face.
The referee and physios from both players checked on him to make sure he was okay.
