You have to give it to Cian Mackey. In the wake of Cavan’s loss to Donegal in Clones last Sunday he took to Twitter to locate a young Donegal girl whom he accidentally struck with a stray football in the warm-up before the game.
Cavan put up a spirited display in their 1-24 to 2-16 loss against Declan Bonner’s side and will be in the hat for tomorrow morning’s draw for Round 4 of all All-Ireland qualifiers, where they will take on Mayo, Tyrone, Laois or Clare for a place in the Super Eights.
However, Mackey revealed on Twitter again yesterday that he had made touch with the family of you young girl and thanked everyone who helped him in his search. He even had the humility to crack a joke at his own expense about his stray shooting!
