Cavan's McKiernan to miss remainder of season

Young midfielder Gearóid McKiernan will be sidelined for Cavan's Championship campaign after suffering cruciate knee ligament damage during a club game.

McKiernan picked up the season-ending injury when playing for Swanlibar in their Cavan League Division 2 win over Cornafean last weekend, with a scan on Monday confirming the worst news for the player.
