The Nottingham player is now being stretchered off and we hope that things aren't too serious for him.
3:51
Not the greatest conditions here as the rain begins to come down. The players are running drills to try to keep warm as we wait for the Nottingham player to be safely removed from the field.
3:45
51' | It'll be a prolonged break here we think as medics are on the field for the injured Nottingham player. We hope all is ok and extra attention is just a precaution.

The second half wasn't pretty, as both sides struggled to find their rhythm but it's job done and five points for the boys!
