SEANIE JOHNSTON MADE his return to action for Cavan last night, lining out for the county for the first time since 2011, as they defeated Ulster University of Jordanstown by 3-14 to 0-9 in the Dr McKenna Cup.
Johnston was sprung from the bench in the 60th minute at Kingspan Breffni Park to mark his comeback for his county.
He was part of a high-profile transfer saga from January 2012 to Kildare and last played for the Lilywhites in 2013.
But Johnston is now back with Terry Hyland’s Cavan squad and was last night part of a setup that made it two wins from two in Section C of the pre-season Ulster competition.
Cavan followed up on last week’s win over Armagh with goals by Paul O’Connor (2) and Enda Henry helping them to triumph.
Appears to be a really nice young fella. Hopefully he makes all the way in his rugby career. Best of luck to him.
@Cathal Keeshan: Very nice family ,let’s hope it works out for him he’s a great talent
As an underage hurler on the Development squad he stood out as having something extra.
Best of luck to him in his career.
Do you lads use that Poolbeg location for every backdrop ?? It looks like Chernobyl in the background.
@Gary O’Rourke: It’s outside PWCs offices on the quays
Tipperary won the minor hurling all Ireland in 2016
@Philip McLoughlin: also that would mean he would be over 20 now.
@Philip McLoughlin: The article states Leinster Minor Hurling title…. not All Ireland.
@Roibeard O’ Beachain: not 20 until July. He would have been 17 in the summer of 2016.
@Paul Ennis: no it does not it says “Dublin lost All Ireland semi final against Limerick the eventual winners” go back and read the article
@Philip McLoughlin: the article has been edited and corrected since the original one earlier which stated my previous comment
@Philip McLoughlin: And as usual, the42 doesn’t acknowledge their mistake like, say, the Guardian. Instead the site is happier to see a shitshow comments section featuring statements like “go back and read it.” It really wouldn’t take much for an editor to insert a sentence below saying a mistake was made and corrected.
@Philip McLoughlin: rewind and reread.
Regis Sonnes at Toulouse was talking about how hurling is an ideal game to learn transferrable skills for rugby.
