Non-League game abandoned as player collides with advertising board and ambulance called

A Non-League fixture was called off after a horrific incident which saw a player crash head first into a pitchside advertising board.

The National League South encounter between Bath City and Dulwich Hamlet was abandoned after the collision involving Alex Fletcher, which led to an initial stoppage in the fifth minute, when the score was still 0-0. The hosts subsequently confirmed an ambulance had been called for their 23-year-old forward.

"This evening's match has been temporarily suspended whilst we await further medical attention for Alex Fletcher," Bath City wrote on Twitter, adding: "Fletcher collided with an advertising hoarding in the early stages of the game and we are awaiting an ambulance at Twerton Park. We will update you all as soon as possible, but for now all of our best wishes are with Alex."
