Local footy match abandoned

In the News: Fox Footy

A football game in Victoria’s southern suburbs was called off and a player sent to the hospital on the weekend after he went into cardiac arrest mid-match, with trainers from both teams receiving praise for their lifesaving actions.

Keysborough player Jojo Ofosu-Amaah dropped to the ground approximately 50m away from the ball just before three-quarter time during a game against Skye at Carrum Downs Recreational Reserve.

A volunteer then grabbed a defibrillator from the bar area at the venue, but it was defective, with a second one was sourced from the trainer’s room.

Please check your defibrillators; if you are not sure, just ask our team.
