McKenna Cup round-up: Player safety must be priority, says Armagh boss Kieran McGeeney

Tyrone and Fermanagh made it two wins from two in the McKenna Cup, but Kieran McGeeney is worried about a possible fixture pile-up in the wake of postponements elsewhere yesterday.

A potential finalist may now have to play four games in 11 days after frozen pitches meant Armagh v Derry (Athletic Grounds), Monaghan v Donegal (Clones) and Down v UU (Burren) did not go ahead.

“It’s far from ideal but it was the right call, you have to look after the players first,” said the Armagh manager.
