Wily Geezer will lead Armagh, says Tierney

KIERAN McGEENEY has been tipped to be a future Armagh manager – but not before he is a success with Kildare.

Benny Tierney, goalkeeper on the Orchard County team captained by McGeeney that won the All-Ireland in 2002 and a fellow Mullaghbawn man, isn’t the least bit surprised that his former team-mate has produced such a turnaround in Kildare’s fortunes.

The Lilies have reached the last eight for the second season in succession under McGeeney but this year have done so in much more convincing circumstances.
