TWO-TON TOM OF TEDDINGTON DISLOCATES SHOULDER

26/5/2016

0 Comments

 
Cricket can be a great leveller at times – just ask former South Wilts captain and run machine Tom Morton.
Seven days after smashing the Teddington attack for a career best 232 and setting a new ECB Middlesex County League run scoring record in the process, Morton’s season went into free-fall.
He bagged a fifth ball duck against visiting Richmond and, worse still, finished the day in hospital with a collar bone injury.
Morton explained: “I fell awkwardly diving and, by all accounts, sprained the ligaments.
“My shoulder and collar bone is now all strapped up and, according to the A & E people at the hospital, I could be out for six to eight weeks.
“I don’t reckon it will be that long, but I have never had to miss cricket through injury before, so I’m not used to this.”
Morton joined Ealing as Director of Cricket at the start of the season, having led South Wilts to successive Southern Premier League championship and twenty20 cup doubles.
