Lions capture Allstar Cavanagh

TYRONE midfield star Sean Cavanagh has been signed by top Australian Rules club, Brisbane Lions.

Current Allstar Cavanagh faces a crunch game tomorrow against Armagh in the replay of the Ulster Senior Football Championship final, and Tyrone GAA officials said yesterday that the Moy clubman had committed to the county side for the summer, but his sporting future appears to lie down under.

Ironically, the Tyrone County Board has been strongly opposed to links between the GAA and AFL over the past decade.
