Leitrim U-21 player on the mend after scary incident
January 23, 2016
A young footballer is recovering in hospital after a defibrillator was used to revive him.
There was a scary incident in today's Hastings Cup Shield semi-final between Leitrim and Roscommon at Rathcline GAA club.
Play was abandoned after a Leitrim player required medical assistance and the 'importance of a defibrillator' at GAA grounds was highlighted once again.
Thankfully, there was a happy outcome...
Due to injury to Alan McTague Hastings Cup match abandoned. Alan is thankfully recovering and we wish him well.
