Title: Is Kieran Mc Geeney the only manager

To successfully manage two different counties to national league success. Kildare in 2013 and Armagh last night?

Mick O'Dwyer has 11 National Leagues as a player and manager just with Kerry. All in Division 1.

He probably wouldn't count a Division 2 or 3 one.

Congratulations, a huge achievement for all the Armagh players and management.

I would hardly class winning div 3 as "national league success"
To win NFL is div 1 only.

Kildare didn't win a league in 2013.

Our victory on Saturday night means that Ciaran McKeever and Andy Mallon would have NFL medals at Divisions 1, 2 and 3. Out of curiosity, would there be other players to achieve anything similar? If Roscommon were to achieve NFL success next year, then there are a lot of players will match that. *

* Genuine question by the way, rather than any attempt to crow - that spread of medals is more a reflection of how much we have fallen in the last ten years rather than a mark of on-going success.
