A footballer received a serious injury to his neck in an alleged attack from an opposing team's player during a match between two Irish clubs over the weekend.
Celtic United FC said their man had “blood coming out of his neck” following the shocking incident which occurred during a game with St Brendan’s United on Saturday.
The vicious assault took place during the 47th minute of the cup match which was being played in Belcamp Park in Clonshaugh, north Dublin.
