Lyng quits Cavan panel

Michael Lyng has quit the Cavan Senior football panel, despite starting in the Breffni County's attack in three of the last five outings in the Allianz National Football League.

The Cavan Gaels club man started the first two league games against Roscommon and Louth, and featured as a substitute against Louth, before starting in the Round 4 clash against Wexford.

However the 25-year old failed to feature last Sunday as Cavan lost by 1-14 to 0-14 against Sligo at Markievicz Park.

Cavan GAA PRO Declan Woods confirmed that Lyng has withdrawn from the Cavan Senior setup, though the reasons for Lyng's exit are unclear.

Lyng was among the five Cavan players who claimed glory with the DCU footballers early this year.

Lyng was impressed for his college as they claimed the O'Byrne Cup title following victory over Louth and a first Sigerson Cup title since 2006 at the expense of UCC.
