McGeeney: Nerves and naivety to blame for wides

AFTER shooting 17 wides, the question was inevitable and Kieran McGeeney didn’t look too surprised when the statistic about his Kildare team’s finishing was raised.

Quick as a flash, he cast his mind back to the start of April in Dungannon when his team managed just five points against Tyrone, a result and performance which virtually ended their hopes of gaining promotion from Division Two.

“I’m a lot happier today than I would have been against Tyrone when we didn’t have any shots,” he said.
