Division Five West
Penygroes v Pontyates (match abandoned)
PLAYERS from both sides and match officials agreed to the abandonment of Penygroes RFC's first Division Five West match of the season following a sickening injury to right wing Darren Price.
A 30th minute collision between the Groes flyer and his opposite number resulted in Price sustaining a serious fracture to his ankle.
Welsh Ambulance Service staff advised club officials that Price should not be moved until paramedics arrived on scene, leading to a lengthy delay.
Following discussions between players and officers from both clubs and the match officials it was agreed that the correct course of action would be to abandon play.
The match will now be rescheduled for a later date.
