A Lucan Sarsfield player has suffered a serious injury as a result of a broken hurling helmet.
Dublin Fire Brigade posted a graphic image on social media of a serious injury caused by the hurling helmet they came across on Sunday.
In a post on their Twitter page, Dublin Fire Brigade said: "It comes as no surprise that we see an increase in sports related injuries at the weekend.
"This weekend one of our crews had to deal with a penetrating injury with a hurling helmet. The helmet had to be removed before the patient could be transported to the emergency department."
And luckily for the player, the club later tweeted that they didn't suffer any bone or nerve damage, saying: "News was good, didn’t hit bone or nerve.
"Thanks to the Dublin Fire Brigade and Tallaght hospital."
