Livid Lilywhites back Geezer

The Kildare players were last night considering their options following the county board’s decision not to offer Kieran McGeeney an extension as manager.

Several of the panel used their social network accounts to express disapproval of the 29-28 in-camera vote in Newbridge on Tuesday night against the Armagh man remaining on in charge for another two years.

A letter on behalf of the 2013 squad was read out at the board meeting in St Conleth’s Park but failed to tip the balance in McGeeney’s favour.
