Glenavon vs Carrick Rangers match abandoned following serious injury

Saturday's game between Glenavon and Carrick Rangers was abandoned following a serious injury to Lee McNulty.

Carrick defender McNulty required lengthy treatment on the pitch before being stretchered off at Mourneview Park.

The match was eventually waved off following discussions between representatives of both clubs and referee Shane Andrews.

Carrick led 4-0 at the time with goals from Daniel Kelly (2), Lloyd Anderson and Corey McMullan, but their performance was overshadowed by McNulty's injury in the 71st minute.

Both sets of players returned to the changing rooms as the defender continued to receive treatment on the pitch before being stretchered off in the 86th minute.

Managers Gary Hamilton and Stuart King were involved in the discussions with referee Andrews before the game was abandoned.

The NI Football League issued a statement on Saturday evening.

It read: "Following the abandonment of today’s Glenavon v Carrick Rangers match in the Danske Bank Premiership the NI Football League can provide the following update.

"The NI Football League will collate all available information from this referee and match observer and a decision on the final outcome will be determined by the NIFL Premiership Management Committee at the earliest availability.

"The best wishes of all connected with the NI Football League go to Carrick Rangers player Lee McNulty for a speedy recovery."
