It seemed almost appropriate that Kieran McGeeney was the man who had the ball in his hand when the final whistle was blown to herald Armagh's first and still sole All-Ireland Senior Football title in 2002. McGeeney believes Donaghy's ebullient personality will also help lighten the mood in the Orchard squad. I think football now is far more enjoyable. "Now it's all football outside of pre-season, games scenarios and more football...."I think it's a great time to be involved in football. I think we have good players and a good squad but like everything else you have to learn to win these battles if you are going to win the wars and we've failed in a couple of those.
