Kieran McGeeney finds positives in Armagh’s narrow defeat

Derry 3-10 Armagh 2-12: Armagh manager Kieran McGeeney took more positives than negatives out of yesterday’s one-point McKenna Cup defeat to Derry at Owenbeg.

The Orchard County dominated the opening exchanges but were made to pay for missing chances as Derry fought back to earn an interval lead before a brace of second-half goals put paid to Armagh’s chances.

Both sides handed opportunities to a number of young players and McGeeney said he was happy with the performance if not the result.
