Joe Fortune Issue Update On Fitness Of Three Key Westmeath Hurlers

Wednesday, 9 February 2022 18:28

All three could see the field before the end of the league campaign.

Davy Glennon is in a race to be fit for this weekend's meeting of Westmeath and Carlow in the Allianz Hurling League.

The former All-Ireland winner with Galway limped off during their victory over Kerry and boss Joe Fortune is unsure of his condition heading into the battle of unbeaten sides in Division 2A.

Fortune has moved quickly to blood some young players and is carrying a couple of U-20s along with the senior team on matchdays to further aid their development and get them used to the pace of the senior intercounty environment.

He also gave an update on Robbie Greville and first Niall O'Brien, saying:

He (O'Brien) is carrying the ankle a small bit, is probably a week or two away from being back and young Greville will be back in the next week or two too.

Davy went off favouring the ankle a small bit and that ground was a bit sticky for the day that's in it.

The young players that are getting their opportunity are making the most of it, putting in a huge shift when they get the chance and that's all we can look for from them.
