A Westmeath spokesman said: "David's achilles tendon Achilles tendon n. The large tendon connecting the heel bone to the calf muscle of the leg. Also called calcanean tendon, heel tendon. is giving him trouble and he'll have to rest for a good while yet. At the moment he's not close to playing football." Meanwhile, Nickey Brennan has moved quickly to clarify reports that the Hurling Task Force is set to meet to discuss the new rule changes this week. Brennan, who doubles as Leinster Council Chairman, said: "Somebody got the wrong end of the stick along the line. "There'd be no point in us meeting because we've only had a few connacht league hurling games so far and there would be, quite simply, nothing for us to talk about." |
