McGeeney happy with squad depth
Armagh senior football manager Kieran McGeeney will look to blend youth and experience as he aims to 'get the best 15 players' on the pitch in 2017.
The Orchard County claimed the O'Fiaich Cup before Christmas and will be looking to build on their success when they begin their McKenna Cup campaign against Derry on Saturday.
McGeeney will offer a number of young players the chance to secure a place in the side ahead of the Allianz Football League when the likes of Andrew Murnin, Mark Shields, Kevin Dyas and James Morgan are expected to return to the mix.
The manager is pleased with the players at his disposal and is looking forward to the challenge ahead.
"We have a good group of guys in this Armagh squad but obviously you need a decent ration of experience. Our biggest task will be to try and get the best 15 players we can on the pitch on any given day," McGeeney is quoted as saying in the Belfast Telegraph.
"Some of the players were blooded earlier this year and others have come on board since and the big task will be to get the right balance in the side. Sometimes I think we are a wee bit harsher on our players than we should be but then ultimately our game is all about the Championship.
"You can do terrible in the league but if you do well in the Championship that will be forgotten, you will be grand then."
