McConville aiming for semi-final return

June 17, 2008
Oisin McConville hopes to return to training on Tuesday night as he steps up his bid to be fit for Armagh's Ulster SFC semi-final against Down on Sunday week. The Crossmaglen star was a notable absentee from the Orchard County attack which posted 0-17 in last Sunday's quarter-final win over Cavan at Kingspan/Breffni due to a long-standing back problem. "I'll try to do a bit of training on Tuesday night, and hopefully I'll be able to gradually build up the intensity during the week," said McConville, who has had three back operations over the last five years, the most recent being in February.
