SEÁNIE JOHNSTON has resubmitted his application for an inter-county transfer from Cavan to Kildare to the Central Competitions’ Control Committee (CCCC).
Johnston’s club, Cavan Gaels, gave their blessing to a transfer to St Kevin’s, but Cavan County Board queried the 27-year-old’s assertion he was a permanent resident in Straffan, Co Kildare, and the CCCC refused the request.
An appeal was also rejected and the deadline to bring the matter to the Disputes Resolution Authority passed over the weekend.
Yesterday’s application included a copy of his lease for his dwelling in Straffan, correspondence from the Revenue Commissioner to his address in Straffan, as well as a number of utility bills.
