A message from our man in new york

The Anglo-Celt sports editor Paul Fitzpatrick is now in New York with the Cavan seniors for their five-day camp. Late yesterday (Wednesday, April 8) he sent us a bit of team news, courtesy of the in-flight wi-fi. The team landed in The Big Apple yesterday evening ahead of a clash with their hosts tonight, here's his mid-Atlantic dispatch:

'The Cavan senior football team are somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean at present as they make their way to New York for a five-day training camp.
The team flew out this morning [Tuesday] at 11am and are scheduled to reach their base in Suffern, upstate, this evening.
Cavan play New York tomorrow evening in the first leg of the Mick Higgins Cup series.
Definitely out is Ballinagh’s Niall McDermott, who has a shin injury.
“I picked up a stress fracture earlier in the league, I played on it but I got it checked out and I need to rest it for two weeks now,” said McDermott.
“I hope to do some training out here but I don’t think Simon (Gaffney, physio) will let me play in the games.”'
