Cruciate woe for Rossies star Shine

Roscommon's Donie Shine may have suffered cruciate knee ligament damage during last Sunday's Connacht SFC semi-final defeat to Mayo, but the injury is not expected to end his season.

Shine confirmed on his Twitter page this afternoon that he has a 'ruptured posterior cruciate' in his right knee. "Not great, but could be worse. Thanks for all the messages," he added.
