A women's rugby match had to be abandoned at the weekend after one side was reduced to nine players.
Llantwit Fardre were leading visitors Pencoed 19-0 in a women's Championship clash on Saturday, before the game was forced to be abandoned just three minutes into the second half.
Pencoed had already turned up with only 12 players, the minimum allowed for the match to go ahead, but were forced to withdraw from the contest after three members of their makeshift team succumbed to injury.

It's understood the decision was made by the match official, who felt the three-player advantage was likely to cause safety concerns.
A spokesperson for Llantwit Fardre told WalesOnline: "Pencoed arrived with 12 players. They had one injury just before half-time, then three minutes into the second half two players went down at the same time.
"The referee said the game had to be abandoned because that number was too low to continue. The injuries weren't serious, and there were no disciplinary issues or cards.
"Unfortunately they were struggling for numbers and then inevitably you get one or two bumps, with no substitutes and you're down to nine players. The referee advised that the game would be replayed, but we've sought clarification from the WRU.
"As part of the competition's rules and regulations, if both teams agree the result can stand, then it can stand. So we're just waiting to hear Pencoed's thoughts to see what they want to do, and we'll then have some communication with the WRU."
