Finuge GAA ‘greatly heartened’ by support for injured players

Finuge GAA Club has expressed its gratitude for the multiple messages of goodwill and support from other GAA clubs in the wake of a traumatic double injury incident involving two of their players in a Premier JFC game with Tralee side Na Gaeil in Finuge last Sunday.

It is believed both players, Maurice Corridan and Conor O’Keeffe, sustained multiple breaks in the freak clash and remain in Kerry University Hospital undergoing treatment. Corridan was a substitute on Kerry’s 2009 All-Ireland winning team.

The Finuge club, home to Kerry manager Eamonn Fitzmaurice and Paul Galvin, has issued a statement on the game which, it said, “ended in upsetting and most unfortunate circumstances as two of our players suffered serious injury”.
