Kieran McGeeney is hoping that he will be able to recall Aidan Forker and Rory Grugan to his starting 15 for Saturday’s Allianz FL Division 2 encounter with Kildare.

The experienced duo missed last weekend’s round 2 defeat to Laois and, speaking to the Irish News, the Orchard County boss said: “I’m hoping.

“They are two big players to lose in one week but you have to be able to stand up.

“They are two big leaders but we had enough leaders on the pitch to do the job (against Laois) and we just didn’t do it.”

‘Geezer’ is looking forward to pitting his wits against Jack O’Connor along the sideline.

“Jack is an out-and-out winner. He’ll be wanting to come to Armagh to get his two points. We have Kildare ahead of us and then Roscommon, Clare, Fermanagh…

“You don’t have any soft ones, so you’re looking for every point.”
