Limerick’s Flynn set for swift return

LIMERICK goalkeeper Tadhg Flynn is to make a speedy recovery from the neck injury sustained in Sunday’s NHL defeat to Waterford at Fraher Field, Dungarvan.

The stricken goalkeeper was immobilised and placed on a spinal board following an accidental collision with Waterford corner-forward Eoin McGrath midway through the first half. He was removed from the ground by ambulance to hospital but was released later that night and travelled home with the team.

Though he is expected to miss Sunday’s clash with Tipperary, Flynn should be fit to resume hurling quickly. A spokesman for Flynn’s club Ahane, has backed him to make a swift return to county action.
