GAA player’s life saved by defibrillator

Tragedy was averted at a Cork club game on Tuesday night when a defibrillator was used to revive a young gaelic footballer.

The frightening incident occurred after the City Division U21 football championship semi-final between Nemo Rangers and Bishopstown in Ballinlough.

Nemo Rangers secretary Bernadette Allen last night confirmed that the player is recovering in hospital and she praised the clubs’ medical staff.
