Joe Kernan's contribution to Armagh football both as a player and manager could see him described as Midas in the orchard county. In the 70's and 80's he won a total of 5 county titles with Crossmaglen Rangers. In the early 90's he would take on the role of their manager. Cross had being on barren run prior to Joe's arrival, but after a few years in charge he had them winning county titles again. In fact more than that, under Joe, the renound club from Armagh would go on to win 3 all ireland club titles in 4 years. Joe enjoyed success as an inter county player too, he won 2 all stars and 3 ulster titles. In his debut season as Armagh manager he led them to their first ever Sam Maguire title. His story is remarkable, He tells me during our chat of how pivotal moments were managed and mentions how several other legendary managers helped him and his various squads along the way. I hope you enjoy the interview!
