The Rotorua Lakes Council has contacted the mother of young girl who suffered leg injuries after getting impaled on a hook on a soccer goal post.
Alyssa Gillions, 7, was climbing a soccer goal post at the Warwick Dr reserve after soccer practice on Friday afternoon when she slipped and a hook went into her right leg.
Fire Service and ambulance staff attended to help free her.
Alyssa had surgery on Friday night, and had to stay in hospital for 48 hours to make sure there was no infection.
Rotorua Lakes Council sport and recreation manager Rob Pitkethley said he had contacted Ms Gillions this morning to discuss what had happened and inform her of the council's response.
