REFEREE’S assistant Helen Byrne has been discharged from hospital after falling ill during this afternoon’s game between Wanderers and Walsall.
Paramedics were called into the tunnel at the half time break after Byrne fell ill, causing a 15-minute delay to the restart.
It is understood the former Edge Hill University student, from Merseyside, had complained of chest problems and was accompanied to Bolton Royal Hospital by her PGMOL coach Phil Dowd.
The Bolton News understands she has now been released from hospital and is on her way back home.
