McCloy ‘continuing to improve’ in hospital

There was good news about the recovery of former Derry captain Kevin McCloy yesterday, with the 35-year-old believed to be conscious and speaking to his family.

In a statement released by his family, they confirmed his condition was still stable and that he was “continuing to improve”.

His former inter-county team-mate and friend Paddy Bradley also tweeted last night that the 2007 All star full-back was making “good progress”.
