After possibly the briefest hurling career in the history of the GAA, Seanie Johnston is now, finally, eligible to play for the Kildare footballers.
Johnston had to feature in a Kildare club championship match before he was eligible to make a long-awaited appearance in the Lilywhite jersey and with that opportunity not arising for his new club, St. Kevin’s, before Kildare’s clash with Meath tomorrow, Johnston lined out with the hurlers of Coill Dubh, St. Kevin’s sister club, in the championship this afternoon.
To say he made an appearance would be stretching it just a tad. According to widespread reports on Twitter, having started at top of the left – where else? – Johnston lasted less than a minute before being withdrawn, thus, ironically (and with no offence intended to the current Kildare hurling team), making him the most well-known Kildare hurler in the country.
