Kieran Martin has suffered a devastating Achilles tendon injury that will sideline Westmeath’s former captain for the rest of the 2021 club and county season. Martin ruptured his left Achilles during the closing stages of last Sunday’s narrow defeat to Down in Division 2 North of the Allianz FL. However, the 30-year-old is determined that this won’t signal the end of a Westmeath senior career that dates back to 2009. “You’re looking six-and-a-half to seven months, so I’ll be looking for next season’s league anyway,” he told the Irish Independent. it just can’t take the load, every joint is at the wrong angle at the wrong time.
