Micheal Lyng is battling to be fit for the Cavan's Ulster SFC opener against Down on May 13. The injury-plagued Cavan Gaels wing forward made his first appearance for the county side in almost two years as a second half substitute in last Sunday's drawn NFL Division 2B encounter with Wexford at Kingspan Breffni Park, and is hoping Cavan will reach the knock-out stages in order to give him more match-time. Donal Keogan's charges will qualify for the NFL semi-finals if they can beat Waterford in Dungarvan on Sunday. "Please God, we'll make the play-offs to get more minutes under my belt. I'd hope to get a half hour or an hour because I'm running out of time - it's only six weeks until we play Down in the championship." The 22-year-old has spent the last two years fighting serious hamstring and back injuries. Tweet
