Glenmore and Kilkenny have been dealt a big blow with the confirmation that Ger Aylward has suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury.
The injury rules the 2015 All-Star hurler out of Glenmore’s All-Ireland Junior Hurling Final on 7 February against Eoghan Rua of Derry and will likely have a huge effect on playing with the county for 2016.
Ger went off injured early on in their All-Ireland Semi-Final win over Dungourney of Cork on Sunday, Glenmore running out 3-10 to 1-11 winners.
It is unsure how long the Glenmore man will be out for but could see him miss Kilkenny’s 2016 championship campaign.
Best wishes to Ger Aylward @GlenmoreGAA in his recovery from cruciate injury.
