A LIMERICK CLUB camogie player who collapsed during a game yesterday and was subsequently airlifted to hospital, is expected to make a full recovery after a defibrillator was present at the venue.

A Newcastlewest player collapsed after half-time in their Limerick county junior camogie final against Tournafulla.

Fortunately a defibrillator was on hand at the venue in Coolyroe, Limerick and the player was able to be treated before being later airlifted to University Hospital Limerick.

A statement on the Limerick GAA website this evening revealed the good news that the player is expected to make a full recovery.

Released by Limerick Camogie PRO Kevin Holmes, the full statement read:

“Yesterday’s Limerick junior camogie final between Newcastle West and Tournafulla was abandoned after a Newcastle West player collapsed early in the second half.

“Luckily a defibrillator was on hand at the pitch in Coolyroe (the home of Feonagh-Castlemahon GAA club) and the player was attended to by a doctor and two nurses who were at the match before being airlifted to the University Hospital Limerick.

“We understand that the player is expected to make a full recovery.

“Limerick camogie would like to wish the player a speedy recovery and our thoughts are with her and her family, friends and teammates.

“We would also like to acknowledge those who helped on the scene including members of the Tournafulla team who made an important impact in the first critical minutes.

    You’d want to get a wriggle on if you’re going to win the Champions League before Dec 1. If it’s taken this long to get to February in the game you’re either going to have to go all out (take a week off work/family) or concede defeat.

    Why don’t we all help Paul with any tips on good affordable signings that he could make to improve his chances. It’s often a case of stumbling across cheap quality signings and sharing the find with friends.

    Played 01/02 religously! (Anyone remember Javier Saviola??), i actually cannot play a version from 09 on, seasons take too long and everything became far too complicated. Im playing 08 the last few years, seems to be the last uncomplicated version. Maybe i just cant except change?? Lol.

    How long does a season take in the games these days? I’m a recovering cm01/02 player (kinda like being an alcoholic, although I may not have played today, I know just one match and I’m back to where I started) – was gona buy this but someone said the seasons take ages these days.

    Try winning it with Limerick FC – took me ten in game years to win! Once you get qualified for the CL you get some good money to invest in players!

    Its not illegal at all. The game is so old eidos released it for free. Go to champman0102.co.UK and you can download the game and update the database to the the 2013 season. Has to be the most addictive game ever created
