Air ambulance lands at Cranbrook Rugby Club after young player sustains suspected head injuries

The air ambulance landed at Cranbrook Rugby Club after a 10-year-old boy suffered suspected head injuries.

The accident happened in Angley Road at around 2pm yesterday, during the club's annual Development Festival. This sees young rugby players aged seven to 12 come together from across the south east to take part in matches.

After being assessed at the scene the boy was taken by road to Tunbridge Wells Hospital as a precaution. He is not thought to have been seriously injured.

"In fact he returned to the club to collect his belongings and obviously his hotdog."
