‘To hell and back’

A young GAA player went through “hell and back” after an ambulance fiasco delayed his treatment for a broken leg by seven hours.

Carlow’s Shane Webb fractured his leg in two places during Wednesday’s Leinster MFC clash with Westmeath at Dr Cullen Park.

At 8.05pm, Carlow GAA’s Dr Tom Foley called for an ambulance and removed the footballer from the pitch to the ground’s medical room.
