Eye injury rules out Garvey

Down defender Conor Garvey has been ruled out for the season after suffering a serious eye injury in a work-related accident.

Garvey, who is a mechanic, had an operation several weeks ago to remove fragments of steel from his eye.

Mourne manager James McCartan last night revealed there are concerns over the Mayobridge man’s eyesight and that he will not be returning to a football field any time soon.
