FORMER ALL-IRELAND club championship winning captain Anthony Cunningham is taking over as manager of Armagh giants Crossmaglen Rangers.
He assumes the reins from Stephen Kernan, whose spell ended after three years following the shock Ulster Championship preliminary round defeat to Ballybay Pearse Brothers of Monaghan earlier this month.
Crossmaglen had claimed their 46th county title with a dominant final win over Granemore in October.
Cunningham, who led the club to their third Andy Merrigan Cup triumph as captain in 2000, now takes charge. He will be joined by Jim McConville.
