Here’s Seanie! Cavan to host Kildare in the Qualifiers

It was the draw we all wanted as Kildare, with Seanie Johnston in their ranks, will play Cavan, at Breffni Park, in the next round of the Qualifiers.

We all hoped it would happen and for once it did. Once Cavan came back to beat Fermanagh yesterday, the prospect of Seanie Johnston’s new team Kildare running into them was on every one’s mind. And the power of collective thought was proven as the two sides were pulled out to face each other in this morning’s Qualifier draw.

So the weekend after next Seanie Johnston will probably make his debut for the Lilywhites against Cavan in Breffni Park. You couldn’t make it up. The saga continues.

There were seven other games drawn today, of course. Kerry will travel to the midlands to face Westmeath while the visit of Tyrone to Roscommon is interesting, as the last team to visit Hyde Park, Armagh, were beaten and they gave Tyrone a great game a few weeks back.

Elsewhere Galway will travel to Belfast to face Antrim, Leitrim will host Wicklow, Longford are at fortress Pearse Park to play Limerick, Laois host Monaghan while Tipperary will welcome Wexford.

Only one game will be the talking point of the GAA world today, though. Can’t wait.
