Young football player dies during match
August 5, 2006 - 10:59PM
A player has died during a lower level rugby league competition match in south-western Sydney.
The 21-year-old man died while playing for Central Coast side Erina against Cabramatta in a Jim Beam Cup match that kicked off at Cabramatta Sportsground just after 6.00pm (AEST) Saturday.
Macquarie Radio said the Erina halfback collapsed while trying to play the ball after a regulation tackle.
He reportedly fell to the ground and began convulsing before being taken to the dressing room where medical staff worked on him for 40 minutes.
He was taken to Liverpool Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.
A spokesman for the NSWRL said there appeared to be no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death but the matter would be investigated.
This is very sad news.
