Kernan has continued faith in Cross

The faces may change, but the ethos and ambition that has made Crossmaglen Rangers the most successful club of the past two decades remains the same.

Despite reports of their imminent demise, Joe Kernan is convinced the squad will continue to be successful while it evolves.

The three-time All-Ireland-winning club manager has already secured Kernan his first piece of silverware of the season, the Armagh county title. And with his son Paul and Jamie Clarke travelling abroad, he has faith in the Crossmaglen conveyor belt.
