Burnout not a factor as Armagh bid to reach boiling point

JOE KERNAN has rejected suggestions that Armagh's marathon season will eventually see them fall short of the ultimate prize because of burnout.

Already, it has taken six games for the 2002 All-Ireland champions to retain their provincial crown and they will need to win another three if they are to claim possession of the Sam Maguire for a second time.

Next up for Kernan is Laois in Saturday's quarter-final and the former Crossmaglen manager has no qualms about his side's mental or physical conditioning.
