Seanie Johnston glad he took the chance to go back

The risk/reward ratio didn’t appear to be in his favour, but Seanie Johnston says he’s glad he “took a chance” by returning to the Cavan football squad.

After four years away, two of them spent in the white of Kildare, coming home was a gamble which could have backfired but Sunday’s memorable performance was the latest sign he’s cashing in his chips now.

Johnston scored 0-7 against Armagh before getting a rousing reception from the home supporters in Kingspan Breffni Park — some of whom probably booed him when he scored against Cavan in an All-Ireland qualifiers in 2012 - when taken off a few minutes from the end.
