All-Ireland champions Armagh host Tyrone in the first of three Ulster derbies in Division One, marking their first competitive home game since winning the Sam Maguire. The game promises to be a thrilling encounter with both teams vying for victory.
Armagh will host Tyrone in the first of three Ulster derbies in Division One of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) Football League. This highly anticipated clash marks the reigning All-Ireland champions' first competitive home game since their triumphant one-point victory over Galway in the Sam Maguire Cup final. The Orchard County, however, suffered a six-point defeat to Galway in their league opener last Saturday.
They also lost midfielder Niall Grimley, who received a straight red card, ruling him out of the round two encounter against their rivals. Additionally, Rian O'Neil is taking a break from county football. Meanwhile, Tyrone also had a successful start to their league campaign, defeating Derry by a significant margin of seven points. This impressive win provided Malachy O'Rourke with a promising start to his tenure as manager. The upcoming Division One clash promises to be a thrilling encounter between two determined teams. Fans eager to witness the action can catch the game live on RTÉ2, starting at 6pm on Saturday, February 1st, at the Box-It Athletic Grounds in Armagh City. Belfast Live Sport will also be providing live updates and commentary throughout the match
