This sort of thing shouldn't happen.

Moy Tír Na nÓg suffered a narrow defeat to Edendork in the Tyrone SFC on Saturday night. Edendork won by one point, but absolutely nobody is talking about the result. Six men received red cards during a game that saw Sean Cavanagh taken away in an ambulance. A photo emerged on social media of Cavanagh's face following the incident, and it is really nasty. https://twitter.com/buddygreene/status/1041308488578883589 Since then, Cavanagh offered an update on his situation, saying: "Thanks for all the messages. Released from hospital with a bad concussion, broken nose & extensive facial injuries but could have been much worse. I'm lucky." https://twitter.com/SeanCavanagh14/status/1041336434039431168 Cavanagh's club posted a statement to their official Facebook page after the match, saying: "Commiserations to An Mhaigh senior men's football squad and management on their very unfortunate one point defeat to Edendork in today's SFC first round match at Dungannon. "Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Sean Cavanagh who picked up a nasty facial injury early in the match and was transported to Craigavon hospital by ambulance."
