National League Probes Abandoned ScunthorpeWealdstone Match After Late Injury

The National League is reviewing a stoppage-time abandonment following Scunthorpe’s allegation of a refusal to restart.

Overview

  • Play was halted in stoppage time when Wealdstone’s Daniel Nkrumah sustained a dislocated shoulder in the 90th minute.
  • Scunthorpe led 2-1 when the referee abandoned the National League fixture with added time still to be played.
  • Manager Andy Butler said Wealdstone players declined to return despite the referee and league indicating the game should resume.
  • Scunthorpe referred the incident to the National League and argues the result should stand, suggesting Wealdstone effectively forfeited.
  • This was Scunthorpe’s second abandonment in a week after a separate head-injury stoppage at Eastleigh, and the club says it awaits rulings on both matches.
