Solihull wrote: “The game ends bang on 90mins and in unnerving circumstances, a stretcher is called as a Wealdstone’s Core Andrews falls to the pitch with no one around him.
“Thankfully he is now back on his feet and the immediate heart in the mouth moment has subsided.
“Corie Andrews is now receiving a rousing round of applause as he exits the field of play surrounded by his teammates.
“An uplifting sight to see!”
Assistant Manager James Quinn said on the fallen ill player: “You know everything is perspective when that happens and you know it was right at the end and we’ve seen out of the corner of our eye him fall over.
“Obviously there was no one near him and you know years you lose your breath thinking about it and straight away we’re all up you know alerting the ref and um yeah it’s terrifying when something like that happened.
“Thank god I see him get up um you know and that was fantastic and he’s managed to walk off at the end so fingers crossed you know there’s obviously he needs to get looked over and what have you I’m sure he will and um we’re just we’re just thankful that he’s managed to to walk off the pitch.”
