Armagh senior stars urged to stay
New Armagh manager Peter McDonnell
Peter McDonnell has taken over from Joe Kernan
New Armagh supremo Peter McDonnell has pleaded with the county's big-name thirty-somethings not to make hasty decisions about retiring.

His request comes after the news that former skipper Kieran McGeeney has opted to quit the inter-county game.

Now speculation surrounds the futures of senior stars like Diarmuid Marsden, Oisin McConville and Paul McGrane.

"I am asking all the players to wait and see what I have to offer," McDonnell told the Irish News.

"Then they can make an informed decision.

"There is an awful lot of idle gossip about what I am thinking or saying.

"I have not spoken to any of them yet. That will happen later on when the club championship comes to a close and the leagues are wrapped up.

"I would like to invite all the panel which finished the Derry match. Then I will lay my stall out."
