Tough at the top for McGeeney

Football manangement is a tough old game as Armagh captain Kieran McGeeney is finding out down in Kildare.
A late point by Laois' Beano McDonald, who had just returned from injury, sent McGeeney's side out of Division One at the weekend.
Now defender Brian Flanagan has been ruled out of the Lilywhites' championship match with Mick O'Dwyer's Wicklow on May 18.
McGeeney has had a baptism of fire.
Although his side played credibly in the top flight the Lilywhites are no longer a serious contender for honours in the championship.
There is also the little matter of former county captain and Kildare legend Glen Ryan enjoying some success at the moment with the county's Under 21 side.
All of this will put further pressure on McGeeney as he faces into his first championship outing against the man who took Kildare to an All Ireland with Ryan as his captain.
