Power hopeful of competing at inter-county meet

SEAMUS POWER was a notable absentee from last weekend’s cross-country squad training session at the ALSAA complex near Dublin Airport.

Despite a persistent back/hip problem, the Clare man is hopeful of competing at the national inter-county championships in Sligo on November 27.

“The situation is that I have been working in Dublin for the past six months and, at the moment, I get out training whenever I can,” he said. “But I have this problem with my hips and I am forever hoping that I will wake up some morning and it will have gone away. Until then I am living in hope.
