Family Curse: Second Mackin Sibling Falls Victim to Cruciate Injury
The Mackin family of Armagh is facing a devastating blow as the cruciate curse strikes for the second time in a matter of weeks. Ciaran Mackin was seen arriving at Celtic Park on crutches for the All-Ireland SFC Round 2 clash with Derry after suffering a season-ending injury in training. This unfortunate incident comes just two weeks after his sister Aimee also ruptured her ACL for the second time in five years during Armagh’s victory in the Ulster senior ladies football final against Donegal.
Aimee’s injury is not only a setback for her but also for her AFLW club, the Melbourne Demons, where she plays alongside her sister and fellow county player Blaithin. The Mackin family is now faced with a challenging road to recovery as they deal with the aftermath of these devastating injuries.
