Leading rider Darren Andrews will miss the season’s kick-off after breaking his leg on Saturday playing football.
The timing was sadly ironic for there was just two minutes to go until the final whistle – Andrews’ team, Halstock, were leading 2-1 – and only that morning he had ridden out for the first time since the spring as his preparation for the 2026/27 point-to-point season began in earnest.
Speaking this afternoon from his home, Andrews said: “I was discharged from hospital yesterday having broken my tibia and fibula. They have put a bolt down through my lower leg with a screw at each end.”
A player on the opposing team was red carded and the game called off, but Andrews was left lying on the pitch from 4.15pm until 8pm when an ambulance arrived. A regular player in the Halstock side, Andrews said: “I enjoy playing football with mates and it’s something I’ve done for many years.
“The only time I’ve ever broken anything was three years ago when I slipped off a farm trailer and fractured my wrist – I’ve never broken a bone while race riding – but I’m fairly positive about this. I’ve been told not to bear any weight on the leg for six weeks, but I’ve been in touch with Oaksey House and hope to be in there by the end of the month.
“Katie Stephens [Welfare Liaison at the IJF’s Taunton South West Hub] has been in to see me and provided me with an ice boot and some tablets and I’ve sent my x-rays off to the BHA and they are happy with everything.”

Andrews makes a living from farm work during the summer and then combines it with riding out through autumn to spring. He said: “I went in to Josh Newman’s on Saturday morning and rode out for the first time in 16 weeks. I rode four lots and felt good, then that afternoon this happened.
“I’m hoping that with a bit of luck I might be back [to ride in point-to-points] around Christmas.”
Andrews passed the century mark in point-to-points last season when he rode 15 winners. He also bagged a double at Warwick’s evening hunters’ chase meeting – which had been transferred from Cheltenham – while successes in previous seasons include the Champion Novices’ Hunters’ Chase at Stratford on the Phil Rowley-trained Forest Chimes and wins at Cheltenham on Quintin’s Man for John Heard and Solomon Grey for Victoria Collins.
Other victories include the intermediate hunters’ chase final on Singapore Saga for Heard and Hexham’s Heart of all England hunters’ chase on the Ben Clarke-trained Dr Kananga.
