Clare hurler David Reidy released from hospital and ‘recovering well’ after horror injury

Clare hurler David Reidy has been released from hospital, having been kept in for observation for a period on Saturday night.

Reidy was stretchered off the field in the closing minutes of Clare’s victory over Dublin in Thurles after he was hit by a shoulder to the head.

In a statement by the Clare county board, they said: “Clare hurler David Reidy has been released from hospital and is recovering well following the injury he sustained in yesterday’s game."

Reidy, who had come on as a sub a couple of minutes earlier, was treated on the field for about eight minutes and left the field in a neck brace.

RTÉ, who broadcast the game live, didn’t show any replays of the incident.
