Wrens Success Marred By Injury

19th August, 2008

Rainworth Miners Welfare's victory in the FA Cup on Saturday was marred by a serious injury to one of their opposition's players.

Dudley Town's Craig Shaw suffered a broken leg just before the end of the first half, following a bad challenge by Danny Naylor which earned the Wrens midfielder a red card.

Play was delayed for 37 minutes while and ambulance and paramedics were called for.

Manager Rudy Funk commented afterwards: "Everyone enjoys going somewhere different for an FA Cup tie and winning, but of course the shine was taken off it today by the injury.

"I've never seen such a quiet dressing room as when we went off while the lad was being treated. No-one talked, everyone just felt for him and of course we wish him a speedy recovery.

"I would also like to express my sympathy to Danny. He's not a nasty player, it was just one of those unfortunate things that can happen in football and he was horrified by the outcome of his challenge."

After the match Rainworth donated the money owed them by Dudley, estimated at ?200, to Shaw.
