St Mullins selector recovering in hospital after Carlow champions shock Cuala

Selector Micheál Ryan — father of substitute Oisín — suffered a heart attack.

Carlow club St Mullins shocked the hurling world yesterday, with a 2-13 to 0-18 victory over fancied Dublin champions Cuala.

But in the aftermath of their famous Leinster club championship win, joy quickly turned to despair as word reached the team that selector Micheál Ryan — father of substitute Oisín — was fighting for his life in the stand. It was later confirmed he had suffered a heart attack.
