A football game between two National League sides has been abandoned after a supporter died.

The match between Bromley FC and Yeovil Town was halted just six minutes after kick-off following a medical incident in the crowd.

Play briefly resumed at the Hayes Lane stadium before being stopped once again and both sets of players returned to the dressing room.

Medical staff from both teams had offered the supporter assistance before paramedics arrived shortly afterwards.

But the match was later abandoned altogether following confirmation from the home side that a fan had passed away.

A spokesperson for the club said: "We wish to express our sincere gratitude to the supporters who flagged the incident, medical teams of both clubs, as well as doctors within the crowd who assisted stadium paramedics until the ambulance crew arrived and transferred them to hospital.

"Despite the best efforts of all involved, the club have since been informed that the supporter has sadly passed away.

"Everyone at Bromley Football Club is deeply saddened by this news and we extend our heartfelt condolences to the supporter’s friends and family.

Yeovil's players also issued a statement, adding: "From all the playing staff at Yeovil Town we send our thoughts and prayers to everyone involved in the incident at today's game," it said.

"Credit to everyone in the stadium for their grace in a very difficult situation, especially both teams' medical staff and the paramedics present.

"We send our regards to the person involved, their friends and family in really horrible circumstances.

"At times like this the whole football family rallies together and shows that it is more than just a game."
