Plenty are already saying Kieran McGeeney's surprise packets won't go back to back or win another All-Ireland, but McElroy is already gunning for next year's Ulster title
Very few saw their Sam Maguire victory coming - until it happened - and plenty more are already saying the current team won’t go back-to-back or land another All-Ireland title
“We skipped to the big prize,” says McElroy, speaking about their All-Ireland triumph over Galway at the weekend. “We haven’t won Ulster so we’ll be gunning for that.” “A lot of the boys have been soldiering on through the whole 10 years and Geezer has kept us together and got everyone going in the same direction.“Some of the in-house games we had before the final, the so-called ‘Blue team’ or the B-team has spanked the A-team a couple of times and I think that keeps you very honest and accountable.
“The game is up and down, up and down, transition and pressing kickouts. So it was a brilliant year for me and I’ve really enjoyed every single moment of it. McElroy - the only Armagh City player on the squad - said: “My first year on the panel was 2016 and we actually got beat by Laois twice in the Championship.“There’s the likes of Brendan Donaghy. He’ll not be collecting an All-Ireland medal but he pushed us on from the depths of Division 3. Charlie Vernon is another and Ciaran McKeever as well.
