Hewson can’t recall goal
PA Wellington The All Black full-back. Allan Hewson, suffered a hairline fracture of his cheekbone when hit in a tackle in the second minute of Saturday’s Ranfurly Shield match. He will visit the hospital tomorrow morning for a check on the injury, also the black eye and slight concussion he suffered. The knock had its humorous aspect. After landing a nicely struck penalty in the fifth’ minute. Hewson remembers only patches of play till he left the field in
the sixteenth minute. But during that time, he kicked another good goal, but cannot recall it. As he lined it up. the wind blew the ball over and Hewson asked: “What do I do now?" "Kick it. it’s another winner." offered a team mate. "I was okay once I lay down in the dressing room." said Hewson last evening. “I don’t know how long I’ll be out of action, but it’s darned annoying, apart from the annoyance of losing the shield."
