Gaeltacht’s MacGearailt set for transfer to Ballygarvan

FORMER All-Ireland winning Kerry footballer Aodhán MacGearailt could be on the verge of transferring allegiances from home club An Ghaeltacht to Cork side Ballygarvan.

His transfer, which would be processed by the Munster Council, could be finalised by next week. Ballygarvan club officials declined to comment on the matter when contacted yesterday.

MacGearailt lives locally in the Ballygarvan area and is employed as a PE teacher in Carrigaline Community School. He recently hit the headlines during the Cork players strike when he was appointed by Gerald McCarthy as physical trainer to the 2009 Cork hurling panel that competed in the Waterford Crystal Cup and the early rounds of the National Hurling League.
