- The fixture was the club’s first since Ezekiel Williams died.
- Creary was kept in hospital for observation.

## Summary

Hendon’s first match since midfielder Ezekiel Williams died was abandoned within 10 minutes after defender Ethan Creary suffered a serious injury. Creary was taken to hospital, where he was being kept in for observation, adding a further difficult episode to the club’s return to play.

Williams, 26, died in hospital on 2 November from head injuries following an incident in Milton Keynes. Before Saturday’s Isthmian League South Central Division match at Bedfont Sports, both teams observed a minute’s silence. Hendon said early signs suggested Creary had a double collarbone break, possible shoulder ligament damage and concussion; Creary said he felt OK and was being monitored for a possible brain bleed.
