Cork star Thompson suffers cruciate injury setback

The injury occurred in a recent local championship game in Cork.

CORK CAMOGIE STAR Ashling Thompson has been hit with a cruciate injury setback after damaging her knee in a recent local championship game.

Milford club player Thompson was in action for divisional team Avondhu when she suffered the injury and The Echo have reported this evening that Cork boss Matthew Twomey has confirmed the extent of the knee damage.

Thompson was a key figure for the Cork team that narrowly lost the recent All-Ireland senior final at the hands of Kilkenny, playing a huge role in fashioning success for Cork in the semi-final against Waterford.

A long-serving figure in the Cork team, Thompson has been part of four All-Ireland senior wins with success arriving in 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018.

She captained Cork to glory in 2015, winning an All-Star that same year and again in 2017, while with Milford she helped them collect four Cork senior club titles and three All-Ireland triumphs.

    I think what Lohan meant to say was “You could get the likes of Ger Loughnane to chair that independent committee and give me the managers job”!!

    a review is the least that is called for. Something just isn’t right and unless the air is completely cleared the team can’t function properly. And worse the fans Will desert them all bar the 5or so thousand that would follow them anywhere

    Independent to me would mean someone not involved at all, ie. outside of the county, doing the review. Then again is there anyone in the GAA considered ‘independent’ and everyone would agree on?

    someone like Mickey Harte, Jimmy McGuinness – capable people with no real competitive interest with hurling teams.
