A match steward was taken to hospital and fans were asked to evacuate the playing field after the win over Westmeath
Armagh GAA have issued a statement after a volunteer steward needed medical assistance before being taken to hospital at the end of Saturday’s All-Ireland SFC win over Westmeath at the Box-It Athletic Grounds.
With over 10,000 spectators in attendance at the Armagh City venue, as is customary at the end of a big game, players were on the pitch signing jerseys and posing for photos with young fans in the immediate aftermath of the game. However, a medical emergency meant that all players and fans were told to leave the pitch immediately as a member of the stewarding team had taken ill in the control room.
On Sunday night, Armagh GAA wished the steward, Kevin Crossey, a speedy recovery and thanked the medical teams for their efforts.
