Johnston as far away as ever from Kildare

Seanie Johnston’s proposed transfer to Kildare has been knocked back again by Croke Park’s Central Competition’s Control Committee (CCCC).

Michael Mooney, chairman of Johnston’s home club, Cavan Gaels, said they had received correspondence from Croke Park confirming the decision.

“It’s nice for it to come to a conclusion and we can now concentrate on football and get him back in the squad,” said Mooney.
