Ryan O’Dwyer returns to full training with senior hurlers

Dublin hurlers have been boosted by the return of Ryan O’Dwyer to full training.

The Kilmacud Crokes man suffered a life-threatening head injury at the end of last October in an unprovoked assault outside a Birmingham nightclub.

“Ryan has got the all-clear and he’s been back doing some non-contact hurling for the last two or three weeks, and got the all-clear to go back fully – so he did his first full-contact session (on Tuesday night) with us,” says Dublin manager Ger Cunningham.

Other good news is that Niall Corcoran (wrist) and Paul Schutte (shoulder) have both resumed training also.

However, the latest on Peter Kelly is that he is a doubt for the start of the Leinster SHC when the Dubs face Wexford on Saturday, May 21 (7.0).

“We were hoping he’d be able to play some part in the league. At this stage he’d be certainly a doubt for the championship match against Wexford,” adds Ger.
