Harriers match abandoned after Dibble injury

Christian Dibble at Edgar Street

Kidderminster Harriers’ National League North clash at Radcliffe has been abandoned after a serious injury to goalkeeper Christian Dibble.

Saturday's game was level at 1-1 when Dibble was left in need of treatment after a heavy collision with Harriers defender Joe Foulkes in the 70th minute, with both medical teams attending.

After a lengthy stoppage, the match was abandoned before an ambulance arrived on the pitch at around 5pm.

Radcliffe had taken the lead from a controversial first-half penalty through Rio Clegg, before Owen Evans equalised for Harriers just before the break.

Speaking after the game, Harriers boss Adam Murray praised the reaction of the players on the pitch as Dibble and Foulkes were put in the recovery position immediately.

He said that Dibble had lost consciousness and was still drowsy as he was taken to hospital with Foulkes, with both having cuts to their heads.
