A young player from Medway RFC suffered a bit of a freak injury this past weekend, causing a stir on social media after a video of him drinking from his water bottle went viral.
Sean Marriot experienced a unique side effect to a facial injury that he sustained in the final ten minutes of their match against Tonbridge Juddians 2nd XV.
A teammate and friend told us that despite the gash to his chin, Sean carried on playing, making a try-saving tackle and then getting yellow carded by the referee for being offside.
On the sidelines, before being treated, he discovered a new party trick, as he sipped from a bottle, squirting the liquid out of the clearly substantial wound.
The went fairly viral this week, racking up over 300k views already.
We're told that Sean was then glued together, given some steri-strips to put on it and he's ready to play again on Saturday. And probably thanks in part to his try-saving intervention, the match ended 20-20.
Hero.
