![]() Tough news... Reports indicate the Paddy O'Prado injury is a fracture (sesamoid) that will necessitate his retirement. More upon confirmation from Dale Romans or Jerry Crawford.
UPDATE: Initial reports were correct Sunday afternoon. Those that listened to Dale Romans on ATR Monday morning heard him indicate that Crawford needed to inform the Donegal partners before today's 1p press conference to announce the retirement news. Pretty sad. Was primed it seemed for a big year.

Sad news but always thankful when it's not life threatening. |
