Tipp star O’Brien ‘stable’ after crash

WELL known Tipperary hurler John O’Brien was in a stable condition at the Mid-Western Regional Hospital last night following a road accident earlier in the day near Daly’s Cross on the Nenagh to Limerick road.

It is understood the Tipp attacker sustained serious leg injuries which will cast doubt over his place on the Tipperary side for the upcoming championship.

He played a major role in helping Toomevara win the Tipperary and Munster club titles this year and it was expected he would be named captain of the senior county side.
