Hungerford Town boss Danny Robinson says his side are ‘ready to take advantage’ of any slip ups in the race for the Southern League play-offs, but the Crusaders boss has more immediate family concerns going into the weekends trip to Frome Town.
The FA Vase winning boss has been supporting his sister Holly Robinson, a goalkeeper for Caversham United in the Southern Region Women’s Football League Premier Division after she lost four teeth making what was a described as a ‘fearless pounce’.
Caversham and their chairman Paul Gutteridge have launched a GoFundMe for Holly who, despite FA and personal insurance, still faces a hefty dentist bill.
A statement released by Caversham said: “During the match, fearless Holly rushed out to pounce upon a loose ball but met the boot of an opposition player. In the face.
“Holly lost four teeth there and then, which were collected off the pitch. She was taken to hospital following her head injury but despite best efforts there and from dental experts in the following days, Holly’s four front teeth were not able to be reinstated.”
Speaking to Football in Berkshire about what donations to support his sister would mean, Danny said: “My sister Holly suffered a horrible injury whilst playing for Caversham United. With four teeth being knocked out and facial surgery required it your donations really do mean so much to her and my family.
“Holly absolutely loves her football and all the support and love we have received has been truly amazing. If you can spread the word or even make the smallest of donations makes the world of a difference. Thank you all again.”
If you are able to make a donation, the GoFundMe page is now live here.
