Five questions from the weekend

Q: What’s the GAA status on concussion again?

On Saturday and yesterday, we saw two cases of suspected concussion dealt with in completely different ways. Yesterday, due care and attention was provided to Mayo forward Evan Regan after his sickening fall in Killarney. The game was held up for six minutes as medics tended to him. In Omagh on Saturday evening, Sean Cavanagh carried on playing despite suffering “slight, mild concussion” from a knock to the head. Regan was in serious discomfort; Cavanagh was in a position to play on but should have at least been removed from play, as per official protocol on the condition.
