The transfer of Seanie Johnston to Kildare has hit a stumbling block after Cavan county board decided they could not sign the transfer application as in their opinion it might break GAA rules.

The Breffni County have cited Rule 6.9 of the GAA's official guide which relates to the 'permanent residence' of the player seeking the transfer, with Cavan questioning whether Johnston is in fact living in Kildare.

The statement released after Monday's Cavan board meeting reads:

"During the January meeting of Cavan county board's management committee, the issue of an inter-county transfer request was discussed. The committee have decided that they will be unable to assist this particular process as they believe there is a doubt about compliance with rial 6.9 T.O. 2011." Tweet
