Cassidy bound for US after donegal axe

Axed defender Kevin Cassidy will have no part to play in Donegal's Ulster and All-Ireland SFC campaigns after accepting an invitation to play club football in America.

The Gweedore clubman, who won an All-Star award in 2002, is to spend the summer Stateside - with the east coast the rumoured destination. Cassidy and his club mate Eamon McGee were both banished from the Donegal panel for a breach of discipline before the drawn NFL Division Two final against Louth. The pair missed that game and last Sunday's replay, which Donegal lost 1-09 to 1-12.
