Smith's injury is worrying for Bulls

Ben Smith was badly injuried at Gravesend this afternoon, as he dislocated his shoulder.

Steve Guinan, in an interview with BBC Hereford & Worcester, said of Smith: "I think everyone is concerned. We have all been asking how he is in the dressing-room. He is in hospital at the moment. I think his shoulder has popped out and it just depends how he is.

"I've asked Rich (O'Kelly) and the doctor who was here. Sometimes it can be six weeks. Hopefully it's not going to be like it was last season when he was out for a few months.

"He's a big concern for us because he's been one of our main players with his goal tally. So he will be hughly missed if he is out."
