Dawe still plays National One rugby at the age of 49

Plymouth Albion chairman of rugby Graham Dawe has been released from hospital after he was injured in Saturday's 17-6 defeat against Leeds.

The 49-year-old came on as a second-half substitute and was hurt in a tackle with Mike MacDonald.

Dawe was then stretchered off before being taken to hospital.

Early fears of a broken neck proved unfounded, with doctors suspecting that the ex-England hooker has suffered a compression injury.
