The Kerry County League Division 3 game between Castlegregory and Ballydonoghue was abandoned after just eighteen minutes when a Ballydonoghue player, Jack Kennelly was injured in an off the ball incident in the fifth minute and the 2018 Kerry All-Ireland Minor medal winner lay stricken on the pitch until an ambulance arrived. He was ferried to hospital with a suspected broken jaw and referee Donal Casey abandoned the game and his match report will now be submitted to the Kerry CCC.

Kennelly is also a leading young greyhound trainer and he trained the winner of the big race, the Kasko A2 Stake final, Charlie and Ben at Tralee on Friday night. Castlegregory led 0-1 to 0-0 when the incident happened.
