Hayling United goalkeeper Barney Conaghan played on with a broken ankle as he kept another Hampshire Premier League clean sheet.

The Humbugs shot-stopper was injured in a 50-50 challenge with about 10 minutes remaining of last night’s 0-0 Premier Division stalemate with Harvest.

Rather than come off, though, Conaghan carried on until the final whistle. He later took himself to A & E and texted manager Dan Bishop a pic of his foot encased in a cast at 3am!

Conaghan had previously kept clean sheets against Winchester Castle (1-0) and early-season leaders Stockbridge (0-0).
