An amateur rugby league player suffered a bizarre injury as the corner flag was impaled in his leg after he scored.
Charlie Mills plays for amateur club Saddleworth Rangers and scored in the corner during their game on Sunday against Ince Rose Bridge in the National Conference League Division One. The winger dived over the line out wide early in the second half to score and bring Rangers back into the game as they trailed 20-6 at half time.
As he scored the important try, Mills knocked the corner flag over before the flag bounced up and got stuck in his leg. Paramedics and the Fire Brigade were called immediately.
