The player in question was figuring in the Radstock Town and Paulton Rovers match, and Mr. Bryant had arrange to convey him in a Ford car to the ground. When starting up the car the engine back-fired, with the result that Mr. Bryant sustained a broken wrist. he was attended by Dr. J. E. Scales, of Radstock, and conveyed home. He is President of the Paulton Rovers' F. C., and very popular in the village.
