Armagh manager Kieran McGeeney praised the resilience of his team, as they responded to their second straight penalty shootout Ulster final loss with a five-point win over Westmeath on Saturday evening.And McGeeney was pleased with the response to their defeat by Donegal in the Ulster final a fortnight ago“I suppose it’s about dealing with a lot of the noise that they get.
“For the players it is hard to take. Rory Grugan, Aidan Forker, Rian O’Neill, they’re some of the best players in the country, there is no doubt about that. There was just one point in it at the break, but Armagh pushed their lead out to six points with that flurry, spearheaded by Grugan and Oisin Conaty and never looked back from there.“I thought the fellas played well and controlled the ball well,” added McGeeney.
McGeeney confirmed bad news for Armagh fans that Conor O’Neill suffered a ruptured achilles injury during the game, but he is hopeful that Rian O’Neill will be available against Derry next Sunday.
