The First Division game between Somerset Eagles and Ireland Rangers at White Hill Field was abandoned after just five minutes of play on Sunday when Eagles goalkeeper Gabriel Wilkinson received a serious head injury and taken away by ambulance (full story, see Page One).

Reportedly he was kicked in the head after a 50-50 challenge and such was the seriousness of the injury that a decision was made to halt the game immediately.
