Johnston saga nears end game

Seanie Johnston’s protracted transfer saga could be over with speculation now that the Cavan player will be remaining with the county.

Local newspaper The Anglo-Celt yesterday quoted an unnamed Cavan County Board official saying the Cavan Gaels player’s switch to Kildare is “dead in the water”.

Cavan had raised questions about whether Johnston was living permanently in Kildare, as is required to make the move, and explained their stance to the Central Competitions Control Committee on Monday night.
