Cathal basks in IFC glory after brush with death
October 05, 2015
Athlone celebrate at Cusack Park and inset Cathal Joyce with his two favourite trophies.
Cathal Joyce yesterday returned to the scene of his near-death experience three weeks ago to watch his Athlone team-mates beat neighbours Tubberclair in the Westmeath IFC final.
A defibrillator was used by medics to save Cathal's life after he collapsed on the Cusack Park pitch during the warm-up before Athlone's semi-final win over Rosemount.
Thankfully, he has since returned to full health and was happy to pose with the Peter Geraghty Cup and a defibrillator after yesterday's 0-11 to 0-9, which secured the Shannonsiders' return to the senior ranks after just one season.
