Dungannon Swifts players involved in crash before game

FOUR Dungannon Swift players were involved in a car crash whilst travelling to today’s match against Ballymena at Stangmore Park.

The game went ahead with none of the four players involved. Dungannon tried—and failed—to get the game postponed.

In a statement, a spokesperson for Dungannon Swifts said, “Unfortunately, four of our first team squad have been involved in a RTC on the way to our fixture against Ballymena United today.

“We will give a further update later after the game.

“We wish the four boys a full and speedy recovery.”

Dungannon Swifts Manager Rodney McCaree confirmed after the match that the four players involved in the RTC sustained minor injuries and that no one involved in the crash suffered any major injuries.
