Kieran McGeeney meets his match in bride Maura

All-Ireland winner Kieran McGeeney met his Kerry match yesterday in stunning bride Maura O’Rahilly.

The ex-Kildare football manager, who claimed a Celtic Cross with his native Armagh in 2002, was happy to play second fiddle in the Kingdom yesterday as he married the Ballymacelligott girl in her local Clogher Church.

A number of leading GAA figures from Kildare, Armagh, and Kerry celebrated with the happy couple last night at the Malton Hotel in Killarney, including former EU commissioner Charlie McCreevy, who was part of McGeeney’s Kildare U21 backroom team last season.
