Wellington AFC’s Toolstation League game at Street last night (Wednesday, March 20th) was abandoned because of a serious injury to striker Ryan Brereton.
The match was 30 minutes old when the Tangerines’ striker was badly hurt in a 50-50 challenge.
As an ambulance was required, the referee brought proceedings to a premature halt.
It has since been confirmed that Ryan suffered a double lower leg fracture to his tibia and fibula and everyone at the club wishes him a speedy recovery.
The fixture v Street – already postponed twice because of a waterlogged pitch – has been rearranged for Wednesday, April 17th.
That adds to an already busy run-in to the end of the season for Wellington.
On Saturday, they are home to Oldland Abbotonians and the following Tuesday they host Saltash United – both sides are in the bottom five, along with the Tangerines.
Then, there are two matches over the Easter weekend – away to fourth-placed Bridgwater United on Good Friday and a quick rematch with Street at the Playing Field on Easter Monday.
