Armagh manager Kieran McGeeney will be an interested spectator in Croke Park on Sunday when Tyrone and Cavan lock horns in the Allianz FL Division 2 final.

It has been a year to forget so far for 'Geezer' and the Orchard County following their relegation to Division 3 but a good championship showing would more than compensate for that.

They currently busy preparing for an Ulster SFC opener against the Breffni County next month. 

"Cavan are moving well and Seanie Johnston has made a big difference to their scoring returns," McGeeney told The Belfast Telegraph.

"Their manager Terry Hyland has the side playing a certain way and we have cause to remember that.

"They have gained promotion and are looking forward to playing in Division One. Facing Tyrone on Sunday gives them another big game before they meet us."

Armagh suffered an embarrassing 0-10 to 3-18 at the hands of Cavan in the fourth round of the league and McGeeney added: "We learned a lot from that display against Cavan.

"Indeed, had we got another win we could well have been challenging for promotion, that's just how tight it was in Division Two."

He concluded: "You are always going to get critics but I have loved Armagh since I was a kid and I want to transfer that to my players.

"If I can do that, we will see where it takes us."
