Another Galway probe as hurler ends up in hospital

THE Galway Hurling Board have to deal with another high profile incident after a player was hospitalised following a senior club hurling game on Sunday.

Meelick/Eyrecourt’s Rory McGauran was hurt in an off the ball incident and was later admitted to Tullamore General Hospital after the game.

The tense relegation play/off encounter ended in a draw as Ballindereen staged a dramatic late recovery to force a draw.

Meelick/Eyrecourt beat Ballindereen in the group stages of the Championship a week previously.

Ten days ago there was major controversy when old rivals Castlegar and Turloughmore clashed in Athenry.

A 13 year-old water boy was struck before half-time which resulted in a serious flare-up between the teams.

The second period of that match was played out in a sporting and competitive fashion.
