GAA: Johnston To Join St Kevin's
Seanie Johnston, has cleared the way to play for Kildare this season by submitting a club transfer from his home club, Cavan Gaels.

The 27-year-old will join St Kevin's.  The progressive Staplestown club ply their trade in the Senior ranks since winning the Intermediate Championship in 2008.

Johnston was recently told by Cavan manager, Val Andrews that he was not required for the coming season.  The forward then lost his case for a transfer with the GAA's Central Appeals Committee last week, but with his club agreeing - albeit reluctantly - to the transfer, Kildare fans can expect to see Johnston in the Lilywhite colours soon.

However, speaking last Thursday, Kieran McGeeney stated that while he would welcome Johnston, he would have to prove himself like everyone else.
