Kernan to remain at Armagh's helm

Joe Kernan is to continue as manager of the Armagh senior footballers - 2007 will be the Crossmaglen clubman's sixth season in charge.

In a brief statement released last night, the Armagh County Board confirmed that the affable Kernan will be staying put with John Rafferty, who guided St Gall's through to this year's All-Ireland club final, to come in as his new assistant.
