Two children knocked down at Moate match

Two children were taken to hospital last night after being knocked down at a match in Moate.
Gardai said the accident occurred around 8.20pm at Hogan Park, Moate when a car slid on an embankment and went through a fence where two boys, thought to be aged ten, were standing watching Moate All Whites take on Milltown in the All Counties Football League Division 3.
Gardai and the ambulance services attended the scene and the children were later taken to hospital as a precaution with no serious injuries. The driver of the car escaped unharmed.
