Peterborough League preview: Leverington player has a life ban lifted
LEVERINGTON footballer Darren Rawthorn has successfully overturned a sine die suspension.
Rawthorn had been banned by the Cambridgeshire FA following an incident in a Peterborough League Premier Division game at Oakham on December 3.
Rawthorn had been accused of spitting at the match referee - an offence which carries a charge of common assault.
The player and his club immediately insisted he was innocent of the offence and Rawthorn’s appeal has proved successful.
Leverington manager Stuart Webb said: “We are delighted for Darren but we always felt this would be the outcome.
“We have known from the moment of the incident that Darren did not spit at the referee.”
