Womens National League Cup game - heading for extra time, we're in the 3rd (of 6) added minutes at the end of the 90'
Player goes down under a heavy but not reckless challenge. She is great pain with a neck injury. After a few minutes its clear that an ambulance is required. After 30 mins and no ambulance in sight, referee had no option to abandon. Ambulance and paramedics still assessing player on the pitch, when we left , over an hour after the incident.
Luckily, I have now found out that hospital investigations show no lasting damage and although on concussion protocol for 2 weeks the player is OK.
My 3rd ambulance attendance in 17 years - not sure if that is above or below 'average'?
