Whelan injury dents Laois hopes
by Brian Murphy, 13 May 2008
Laois hurler Matthew Whelan has been ruled out of action for the rest of the season with cruciate knee damage.
Laois are due to face Offaly in the quarter-final of the Leinster SHC on Sunday week, but manager Damian Fox will have to do without centre-back Whelan.
The Borris-in-Ossory club man suffered the injury in a league game against Abbeyleix two weeks ago.
The news will come as a serious blow to the O’Moore County, who have already had to deal with the loss of Zane Keenan and Kieran Fitzpatrick.
