Ambulance took an hour to reach hurler

A YOUNG hurler who sustained a frightening neck injury during a high-profile schools match had to wait almost an hour for an ambulance.

Liam Daly, of Coláiste Treasa, Kanturk, received the accidental injury to his neck with six minutes to play in the All-Ireland ‘B’ vocational schools hurling final on Wednesday.

He had scored two goals and two points in the match which had gone to extra time. The game was won by Nenagh Vocational School by three points.
