Tipperary play waiting game for Colin O’Riordan for Munster U21 football final

TIPPERARY boss Tommy Toomey will consult with Colin O’Riordan, the player’s parents and medical staff before making a call on the captain’s availability for the Munster U21 football final against Cork on April 9.

O’Riordan, 19, suffered a neck injury in Sunday’s Allianz Football League Division 3 victory over Sligo.

The player was monitored on the pitch for 20 minutes before being stretchered off and was detained in hospital in Clonmel on Sunday night after undergoing a CT scan on his spine, which showed up clear.
