News that Somerset’s Jay Herne has suffered a knee injury whilst competing in the recent Australian Long Track Championship has thrown the proverbial spanner in the Rebels plans for the start of the 2010 season, which is now just 4 week’s away.
Initial thoughts that Herne would recover sufficiently to take his place in the Somerset septet receded with the news that the 25 year old required a skin graft on the damaged knee, but as club promoter Debbie Hancock explains the Rebels have options available to them;
“While we hope that Jay will be fit for the start of the season, skin grafts can take a time to ‘bed in’ and we do not want him to rush back if he is not 100% fit. With this in mind we have made contingency plans to bring in a rider in for the short term, should needs dictate, to cover for Jay’s absence.”
“We received a reduction in Steve Boxall’s initial starting average to 6.88 from the BSPA Management Committee, which was double his 2009 Elite League average with Poole, and gives us 5.84 to play with should we need to bring in any short term replacement for Jay.”
