ILMINSTER Town and Chard Town are set to meet again tomorrow (ko 2.30pm), after last Saturday’s Somerset County League Premier & Division 1 Cup tie was cut short due to a serious injury.
Hosts Ilminster had been leading 2-0 at the 38th-minute mark, but then Chard left-back Danny Cleal collided with one of his own players, dislocating his knee.
The wait for an ambulance and the failing light led to the match being abandoned.

Therefore the teams will try again tomorrow, with the cup tie being replayed at The Archie Gooch Pavillion (weather permitting).
More than 250 spectators came along last Saturday, so the clubs will hope for another bumper crowd this time around.
Elsewhere tomorrow, Combe St Nicholas host Congresbury in Division 3 of the County League.
On Sunday, Ilminster Town Ladies visit Portishead in the South West Women's Premier Division.
