Herne Bay saw their Isthmian Premier match on Saturday against Horsham abandoned following an injury sustained by one of their players.

The visitors raced into a 2-0 lead at Winch’s Field in the first six minutes, with young keeper Emile Haratbar between the sticks in place of the suspended Jordan Perrin.

But with the contest still in the early stages, play was initially delayed - and eventually called off altogether - after Bay striker Kymani Thomas sustained an injury.

But on Twitter later in the day, youngster Thomas wrote: “Thank you for all the messages.

“Alhamdulillah I’m back soon.”

Basement boys Herne Bay have since confirmed there will be no entry fee when a new date is set for their rearranged clash against the Hornets.
