Fingers crossed he will be OK.

There was worrying news coming from Ulster GAA on Saturday afternoon about the health of one of the country’s brightest underage talents.

Odhran McKenna is understood to be in a serious condition in hospital after suffering injuries in a road crash on Friday night.

McKenna is in intensive care in the Royal Hospital Belfast, and there has been huge support for him on social media over the last 24 hours.

The talented teenager is well known in Antrim for his exploits for the county’s hurlers and footballers, and his brother CJ is also a well known star, while they are also key players for their club Naomh Eoin.

His family issued a statement via the club’s Facebook page on his health this afternoon.
