A match involving a team playing for the first time since the death of one of their players was abandoned because of a serious injury.

Non-league Hendon were returning to action for the first time since midfielder Ezekiel Williams, 26, died in hospital on 2 November from head injuries after an incident in Milton Keynes.

Saturday's game at Bedfont Sports in the Isthmian League South Central Division was abandoned within 10 minutes after Hendon defender Ethan Creary was carried off on a stretcher and taken to hospital.
