Sheahan gets a ticking-off

WHEN Frankie Sheahan arrived back at Cork Airport from Australia late last night, he turned his clock back seven hours to comply with local time.

Buried in the back of his mind somewhere must have been the burning desire to turn the hands of his watch all the way back to last September.

Reports from the Irish camp yesterday appeared to indicate that the box-ticking of the player after his drug test in Toulouse were to blame for his temporary suspension from all playing activity.
