Johnston – full forward play at its best

Every so often a player has a game, which will live on in the memory.
Cavan’s Seanie Johnston had just one of those games on Saturday night when despite the torrential rain he made it so look so easy as he notched up nine points.
Johnston took his scores off either foot and his handling in spite of the conditions was a joy to watch.
Johnston got out in front all night and the ball invariable stuck when he got there.
A clever two-footed forward is always a handful and Johnston doesn’t hesitate for a second, no matter what side he turns he has the ability to score.
There aren’t enough good forwards in the country.
Seanie Johnston is playing on a poor side yet all season he has shown that he is a force to be reckoned with.
It was nice to see him get some reward on Saturday night for the effort he has put in whether his team are struggling or not.
His determination matches his ability and any young forward could do worse than to try to emulate him.
