McGeeney: Lilies can upset Dublin

It is 11 years since Kieran McGeeney and his Armagh team-mates inflicted a deep wound in the psyche of Dublin football by beating the Blues in a dramatic All-Ireland semi-final.

McGeeney went on to make history when lifting the Sam Maguire Cup that September and played another five seasons before accepting Syl Merrins’ offer to take the plunge as an inter-county manager with Kildare.

Apart from two O’Byrne Cup successes, he hasn’t enjoyed the type of fortune that aided Armagh in 2002, when Ray Cosgrove’s late free hit the upright.
