RAWTENSTALL professional Ian Hewett's season is over because of a serious
shoulder injury.
The Australian is returning home after being advised not to play again for
at least a month and the club have engaged former Rawtenstall amateur
Andrew Payne for Sunday's game against Accrington.
It's the fourth year in a row that Rawtenstall's professional has had to
leave early, for different reasons, but the club had no option as the
shoulder injury has been bothering Hewett for a couple of games and they
had to accept medical advice. Andrew Payne, who is the son of Rawtenstall
chairman Brian, spent two seasons with Somerset and has played as
professional for several clubs. He is currently with Flowery Field in the
Saddleworth League.
