After witnessing Jarvo interrupt the England vs India games three times in a row in three Test matches at Lord's, Leeds and the Oval, another pitch invader was on show on Saturday during the All-Ireland Women's T20 Cup semi-final between Bready Cricket Club and Civil Service North Ireland Cricket Club.

Bready batted first and were able to post just 105 runs on the board and the CSN would have fancied their chances chasing a small total. But, due to the rain, the match was reduced to a 12-over game and the DLS adjusted target for them was 74 runs.

But the CSN Cricket Club didn't have a great start losing six wickets pretty quickly. 

The moment of the game came in the ninth over of CSN's batting when Abbi Leckey hit the ball towards the third man are and the backward point fielder ran towards it, picked it up and threw it towards the keeper. The keeper attempted a run-out and the ball went in the same direction towards the same fielder but this time but before she could pick up the ball, a cute puppy came running towards the pitch and picked up the ball with its mouth.

After picking up the ball, the dog started running towards the pavilion as two fielders started running after it and then a security guy came in on the ground and chased the dog before it stopped and was embraced by the batter at the non-striker's end and the security person was able to take the ball off its jaws and retrieve it.

Bready Cricket Club eventually won the game and qualified for the final.

The fans couldn't stop themselves from reacting as they called it the cutest pitch invader. Here are some of the reactions:
