Hurling debut not on cards as Kildare wait on Johnston

Seánie Johnston’s new club St Kevin’s insist they are not considering the idea of their player lining out for their affiliated hurling club Coill Dubh.

After a five-month saga, the Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) yesterday granted his transfer from Cavan Gaels to the Kildare club.

However, Johnston, who has continued to train with Kildare, can’t represent the county until he has played a championship game for his new club.
