FINN HARPS were hit with another massive injury set-back last night.
Damien McNulty was forced off after just seven minutes following a clash with Wexford Youths’ Danny Ledwith at Finn Park.
Both players had to be withdrawn such was the force of their coming together.
McNulty has played all bar one of Harps’ League games this season, but the tenacious defender now faces the best part of the next two months out of action.

“Damien was a big loss to us, especially in defending set pieces,” the Harps boss said.

“Now, we’ll have to deal without Damien for a period of time.
“It’s too early to call, but the medial knee ligament injuries usually have that time-frame on them.”

However, Josh Mailey missed out on inclusion in the match-night squad because of a hamstring injury.
