Johnston facing one final hurdle before Lilywhites green light

Seánie Johnston’s transfer saga is not yet at an end, despite reports to the contrary yesterday.

The Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) have yet to grant the Cavan native’s request to move to St Kevin’s in his attempt to line out for Kildare in this year’s Championship.

The Central Appeals Committee (CAC) sent the case back to the CCCC. The CAC upheld Johnston’s appeal on Wednesday night against the CCCC’s decision to refuse it last week.
