Tennis ace returns after heart attack with life saver

It was almost game, set, and match for one Limerick man when he suffered a cardiac arrest and collapsed during a game of tennis in Cork.

But thanks to the swift actions of his opponent, who used CPR and a defibrillator to save his life, Declan Harkin, 57, was able to serve his own special ace this weekend which could help save another life.

On Saturday, Declan returned to Douglas Lawn Tennis Court, where his heart stopped just a week ago, to donate a defibrillator to Rob Jenkins, the opponent on the day who saved his life.
