Johnston saga angers McGeeney

Kildare boss Kieran McGeeney has questioned if GAA officials have investigated all transfer requests as forensically as that of Seanie Johnston.

Former Cavan skipper Johnston sought a move from Cavan Gaels to St Kevin’s in Kildare — a switch which would make him eligible for McGeeney’s squad. However, he has been knocked back by the GAA’s Central Competitions Control Committee.

Johnston was at St Conleth’s Park on Sunday to watch Kildare beat Derry in their Division 2 tie and, according to McGeeney, remains committed to pursuing the transfer.
