PIC: Westmeath hurler tweets the gruesome result of a sliothar to the face

Lucky boy

Earlier today we brought you the news that Westmeath's Shane Power was injured in a freak incident in the warm-up before the game with Wexford in Cusack Park. The defender was apparently hit by a sliothar in the face, and was given medical attention before being taken to hospital for treatment. All we can say is Shane is a very very lucky man and tonight has tweeted exactly what happens when you get a very hard sliothar aimed at your face. To no surprise it is not good. https://twitter.com/shanepower20/status/607635342682898433 Westmeath lost to Wexford so Shane may have a little bit of time to recover before they hit the qualifiers in a few weeks, and we wish him the best.
