Injuries dent Kilcar's hopes

A spate of injury blows have dented the hopes of Kilcar going into tomorrow night's Senior Football Championship quarter-final replay meeting with Glenswilly with manager of the Towney-based club, Neilly Byrne, pondering over the potential loss of four key players.

Definitely out are Ciaran McShane and Ciaran McGinley, while there are also doubts being expressed about the fitness of Patrick Gallagher and Luke Carr.

McShane and McGinley both sustained injuries in Sunday's first meeting of the sides. McShane was forced off with a broken collar bone - the second time this season he has picked up such an injury having broken it earlier in the year against Buncrana. Ciaran McGinley, meanwhile, also sustained a broken bone on Sunday, the wing half-back breaking a bone in his arm, meaning that he will also miss tomorrow night's replay.

And, the worries do not stop at that with Luke Carr and Patrick Gallagher also doubtful. Both players had to sit out the action last weekend and are again not expected to be 100%, meaning they will probably not start tomorrow night's game.

"In Championship games you need everybody," Neilly Byrne told the Donegal News earlier in the week.
