Cavan lose out as Brady opts to defend world handball title in America

CAVAN footballer Paul Brady, left, has withdrawn from his side’s All-Ireland SFC qualifier with Kildare on Saturday.

Brady travels to America on Friday to defend the world title he won so dramatically last year.

He is expected to be replaced by captain Anthony Forde, who will be making his first appearance for the Blues after a three-month suspension. Panellist Lorcan Mulvey is also available following his ban.
