Antrim’s prospects of causing an upset against Kilkenny in the third round of the Leinster SHC on Sunday have been dealt a blow with the news that Nigel Elliott is set for a spell on the sidelines with a broken metatarsal.
The Dunloy attacker sustained the injury in the first half of the drawn first round game against Dublin at Corrigan Park and missed last weekend’s defeat to Wexford.
With Kilkenny coming to West Belfast this weekend, Elliott’s injury comes at the worst possible time for the player himself and manager Darren Gleeson.
