McGeeney marker as talented Smith left off Kildare panel
Smith has been one of the major successes of McGeeney’s tenure at the helm; a star of the Lilywhites team that reached the All-Ireland U21 final, he was one of the seniors’ best performers as they reached the championship quarter-final later that year.
He improved further last season, scoring 4-9 as Kildare stormed to the Leinster final and pushed Tyrone all the way in the All-Ireland quarter-final, deservedly earning an All Star nomination for his efforts.
