Rafferty retains starting spot as Armagh announce squad for Killarney trip

Ethan Rafferty has been named between the sticks for Armagh as they make the long journey south on Saturday to take on All-Ireland champions Kerry.

Rafferty earned his second start of the season last weekend in Inniskeen, as Louth won by the narrowest of margins, with Blaine Hughes missing out through injury.

The Carrickcruppen netminder hasn’t returned to the panel and Shea Magill will be on standby as the substitute goalkeeper.

Andrew Murnin was another injury concern for the Orchard County but he has been named to start at midfield, with Ross McQuillan dropping to the bench.

McQuillan was one of the standout performers for Kieran McGeeney’s men last weekend, kicking 0-4, but did make way towards the end of the contest.
