Fears for Kyle Hayes as injury could be worse than first thought
The five-time All-Ireland winner was on the receiving end of a high hit from Newcastle West fullback Maurice Murphy just 17 minutes into Kildimo-Pallaskenry's 2-16 to 2-16 draw with Newcastle West in the Limerick Club County Championship.

While Hayes was unable to return to the field he was able to watch on from the sidelines on his feet. However, he was taken to the hospital that evening for an MRI scan.
While it was reported that he had suffered a concussion, Hayes was also reportedly treated for a back injury while at University Hospital Limerick.
Tipperary fans and all hurling fans in general, will be keeping a close eye on Limerick SHC updates as five-time All-Star Kyle Hayes suffered a serious back injury in Friday's clash between Kildimo-Pallaskenry and Newcastle West.

Legendary Kerry GAA player and manager hits big jackpot in club lotto
The people of Kerry are still celebrating their victory in last month's All-Ireland football final but for one Kingdom legend, the summer got even better. Kenmare Shamrocks GAA is the home of current ace forward Sean O'Shea but a former star player was also making headlines this week. The south Kerry club's lotto draw had rolled over to a whopping jackpot total of €16,400 and was finally won last weekend by another multiple All-Ireland medal winner. Mickey Ned O'Sullivan captained Kerry to their breakthrough All-Ireland success in 1975 and went on to win two more medals as a player in 1976 and 1979. He later went on to manage Kerry at minor, u21 and senior level successfully while he also managed the Limerick senior football team. O'Sullivan had the inevitable task of taking over from Mick O'Dwyer in 1989, winning a Munster title in 1991, but he was also in charge for the infamous defeat to Clare in 1992. A post on the Kenmare Shamrocks Facebook page read: 'Kenmare Shamrocks made Mickey Ned O'Sullivan a happy man yesterday when he received his winning Lotto cheque of €16,400. Mickey correctly picked the four winning numbers of last Sunday night's lotto draw (2, 12, 20, 28).' O'Sullivan, who is a retired schoolteacher, told the Kerryman newspaper: 'It's nice to win anything, you know. I probably have a ticket in there every year since it began and this is the first time I have won.' 'All the money that isn't won goes for the facilities, the all-weather pitch, the gym - there are plans for a new gym - and the maintenance of the facilities, which are great, top-class,' he said. 'It's good to know that the vast majority of the money goes back into the club.'

Kerry football legend wins over €16,000 in club lotto – ‘Even Dubs were sending him good messages'
Former Kerry footballer and manager Mickey Ned O'Sullivan, who captained the Kingdom to All-Ireland glory in 1975, won €16,400 after his numbers were drawn in Kenmare Shamrocks GAA's lotto on Sunday evening. Mickey Ned spoke to The Kerryman about his win. 'It's nice to win anything, you know,' he said. 'I probably have a ticket in there every year since it began and this is the first time I have won.' The All-Ireland winner hopes his win will highlight the importance of the lotto for the club. 'All the money that isn't won goes for the facilities, the all-weather pitch, the gym - there is plans for a new gym - and the maintenance of the facilities, which are great, top-class,' he said. 'It's good to know that the vast majority of the money goes back into the club.' Mickey Ned said he has no plans after his lotto win. 'We'll work it out. We weren't expecting it anyway,' he said. 'We won't get excited,' he joked. The lotto win was the cherry on top of a great day for Mickey Ned. He had watched his club beat Dingle in Kenmare in the first round of the Senior Football Championship and his neighbour, Jonah Kirby, won a gold medal in the World Rowing Championships on Sunday. Kenmare Shamrocks PRO, Paul O'Sullivan, told The Kerryman that Mickey Ned is a 'very popular winner' of the lotto prize, which had been growing since Christmas. 'It shows there on our social media platforms - the amount of congratulations that he has got from so many people,' Paul said. 'Across the water, New York, even Dubs were sending him good messages as well, which was a great thing to see!' 'After the numbers came out we realised we had one winner and it was Mickey Ned. ' [Lotto committee chairperson] Timothy rang him and he just called out the four numbers asking Mickey if he recognised them. 'And he said 'Gosh no, were they something to do with the game today'. 'No', he said, 'they are the four numbers that just won you €16,400!'.' Paul said Mickey Ned has been playing the lotto since it began in 2011, and it was great for a local man to win it. The club's lotto draw takes place at 8pm each Sunday and it has proved to be a great fundraiser. Kenmare Shamrocks sell lotto tickets from a tent in the town centre from 3pm until the draw begins each Sunday. 'People call up to us all the time for a chat, a photo with whoever is there, Seánie [O'Shea] is there a lot of the time, so it's all great,' Paul said. Tickets can also be purchased from club officials and through the club's website ( and social media. This Sunday night's club lotto jackpot is €10,000.

Jacob Bethell named England's youngest-ever captain as squad confirmed for T20 series against Ireland at Malahide
The 21-year-old is on the Test fringes but he is already a white-ball mainstay and the esteem with which he is held in is emphasised by his appointment to captain England from September 17-21 in Dublin. When he does so, Bethell will eclipse the existing record held by Monty Bowden, who was 23 years and 144 days old when he oversaw England in a Test against South Africa at Cape Town in 1888-89.

'Jacob Bethell has impressed with his leadership qualities ever since he has been with the England squads,' said national selector Luke Wright. 'The series against Ireland will provide him with the opportunity to further develop those skills on the international stage.' Bethell has received the opportunity as Harry Brook takes a breather following the ODI and T20 series against South Africa from September 2-14, the squads for which were also announced on Friday. Jacob Bethell has impressed with his leadership qualities ever since he has been with the England squads National selector Luke Wright Assistant Marcus Trescothick will step up as head coach in Ireland, with Brendon McCullum not making the trip, reprising the role he had in England's white-ball tour of the Caribbean last winter. All-format quartet Ben Duckett, Jamie Smith, Jofra Archer and Brydon Carse have also been taken out of the firing line against Ireland, giving them a rest in preparation for this winter's blockbuster Ashes. Fast bowling duo Mark Wood and Gus Atkinson are not in any of the three squads as they start focusing on this winter's tour to Australia, which gets under way on November 21 in Perth. Wood had knee surgery in March and missed the entirety of the Test series against India. It was hoped he would play some part against South Africa or Ireland but his competitive comeback may now not be until England's white-ball trip to New Zealand in October and November, just before the Ashes. Uncapped fast bowler Sonny Baker has been rewarded for a string of encouraging showings in the past 12 months, included in the ODI squad to face the Proteas and in the group to face Ireland. 'Sonny is a player we have identified for a while and he was impressive during the England Lions tours last winter,' added Wright. 'He has carried that form into this season in white-ball cricket with Hampshire and Manchester Originals and deservedly gets his opportunity.' Seamer Matthew Potts and slow left-armer Tom Hartley have been recalled for the brief visit to Ireland but, despite a number of absentees, there is no recall for all-rounders Liam Livingstone or Sam Curran. England ODI squad v South Africa: H Brook (captain), R Ahmed, J Archer, S Baker, T Banton, J Bethell, J Buttler, B Carse, B Duckett, W Jacks, S Mahmood, J Overton, A Rashid, J Root, J Smith. England T20 squad v South Africa: H Brook (captain), R Ahmed, J Archer, T Banton, J Bethell, J Buttler, B Carse, L Dawson, B Duckett, W Jacks, S Mahmood, J Overton, A Rashid, P Salt, J Smith, L Wood.
