Meeting of Armagh and Kildare between two sides climbing out of a trough

Daniel Flynn spoke openly and honestly at a media event earlier this week about all things Kildare; from their woeful Croke Park record to his costly missed goal chance against Dublin in the Leinster final.

Yet when the conversation swung around to Kieran McGeeney, an anticipated topic given his direct link to the current Kildare and Armagh teams, tumbleweeds began to float by.

McGeeney gave Flynn his chance with Kildare in 2012 and the following year the big forward was part of a star-studded U21 team that ‘Geezer’ managed to a Leinster title.
