West Ham United’s Ladies had their final match of the season abandoned with nine minutes to go after goalkeeper Toni-Anne Wayne suffered a serious injury that required her to be taken away by ambulance.
Reading were awarded all three points as they were 3-2 up when the decision was taken to call off the FA Women's Premier League Southern Division match. Wayne collided with the goal post, resulting in cracked ribs and a bruised sternum and hip.
Rosey Sullivan and Katie Bottom scored for the Hammers, but the early conclusion meant that they couldn't end their seven game winless streak.
Wayne was released from hospital on Sunday evening, but with what sounds like a nasty incident, we wish her a speedy recovery.
The side notched up 22 points from 16 games and finished sixth. They may be disappointed with the second half of their season but should bow out with their heads held high after a mid-table finish.
