Geezer ‘happy’ with silverware

Kildare left Croke Park yesterday with national silverware on board their team bus for the first time in the Kieran McGeeney era.

Yet while there were wild scenes of celebration amongst their supporters after this Division 2 triumph, McGeeney knows that his side will be judged by their achievements later in the season.

McGeeney admitted: “In fairness, it was a good performance today. We’re happy with that and it’s nice to get some silverware. Most of you were looking for it more than me at one stage there. It’s a good performance. I’m happy with that.
