Austin Gleeson to wear ear protection after gruesome injury

Waterford star Austin Gleeson will wear ear protection against Tipperary in tomorrow evening's Bord Gáis Energy Munster U21 hurling final after sustaining an horrific injury during Sunday’s senior victory over Wexford.

A chunk of Gleeson’s left ear was left hanging off during the closing stages of the All-Ireland senior hurling quarter-final clash in Thurles.
