ARMAGH ENTER A fight to retain their Division 1 status as they clash with Roscommon in the relegation play-off on Sunday at the Athletic Grounds.<\/p>\n

Having led the Orchard to their first season in the top flight since 2012, Kieran McGeeney will be reluctant to make it a brief visit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They enjoyed a four-point win over Monaghan and drew with Donegal, with exposure to the top sides in the country expected the stand to Armagh ahead of the Ulster championship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On this week\u2019s episode of The42 GAA Weekly, Kerry legend Marc \u00d3 S\u00e9 says he believes McGeeney\u2019s men are \u201cnot far off being a very good team.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u201cI always say in the National League, you look at the top eight teams in the top division,\u201d he said. \u201cFor me, there\u2019s a gulf there. I think there\u2019s a top six, even a top four and the rest of them are a good bit off that.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI was lucky enough to go the Armagh-Donegal match. Watching Armagh closely and what they\u2019ve brought to them, Ciaran McKeever, Kieran Donaghy and Kieran McGeeney, in particular.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been watching him closely [since he went to] Kildare. The influence he has on this Armagh team is unbelievable and the players he has at his disposal.<\/p>\n

\u00d3 S\u00e9 added: \u201cThe one thing I noticed was the chemistry between the O\u2019Neill brothers, Rian and Oisin. Anytime Rian got the ball, the first thing he wanted to do was put that ball straight into Oisin.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve players like Niall Grimley in midfield and I think they\u2019re not far off being a very good team once the emphasis is on putting quick ball into the full-forward line.<\/p>\n

\u201cRian and Oisin, these guys are serious talents. Stefan Campbell, who was poor the week previous to that, had a hand in 1-8 or 1-9 in that game against Donegal which is phenomenal. Kieran has moulded a fantastic group of players here.<\/p>\n

\u201c[They’re] taking on Roscommon the next day in a relegation battle, which is disappointing. But the only thing is it\u2019s a home venue for them and we\u2019ve seen Roscommon\u2019s over reliance on Enda Smith.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Armagh have their homework done here it\u2019s a great opportunity to avoid the drop. It would be disappointing to see them going down after seeing all the hard work Kieran McGeeney has done.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
