Wexford forward Podge Doran is recovering from a broken jaw sustained in a club game last weekend.

Doran's jaw was broken in an off the ball incident during his club Oylegate-Glenbrien's IHC clash against Shamrocks.

The Wexford star was struck in the first half, but amazingly carried on for the entire game and the club have asked the county board to investigate the incident.

However, referee Barry Redmond issued a yellow card for the incident and it is unsure if any further action against the player in question can be taken.

Doran does not need surgery to fix the problem, but a club spokesman told the Wexford People that they were upset by the handling of the incident.

"Given the extent of the injury, Podge could not eat or drink for days. He was told the jaw would come right but to get your jaw cracked is no fair thing on a hurling field. Once the referee could produce a yellow card for striking with a hurl, it should have been an automatic red in this instance," the club spokesman said.
