Armagh claim just the second All-Ireland Football title in the county's history with a 1-11 to 0-13 victory over Galway in a nail-biting decider at a raucous Croke Park.
Armagh claimed just the second All-Ireland Football title in the county's history with a 1-11 to 0-13 victory over Galway in a nail-biting decider at a raucous Croke Park.
McGeeney captained that 2002 team and has achieved a rare double by leading the class of 2024 to an All-Ireland title that looked most unlikely after they lost this year's Ulster final to Donegal on penalties. Indeed, neither Comer or Walsh scored in the opening 35 minutes with Walsh missing two presentable frees. And with the always-impressive Rob Finnerty succumbing to injury after just 10 minutes - having already clipped over a free - Galway boss Padraic Joyce cut a troubled figure on the sideline.
Excellent efforts from Orchard skipper Aidan Forker and Barry McCambridge - one of Armagh's breakout stars from this year - also kept the Orchard men's scoreboard ticking over. Indeed, within seconds of entering the play, Campbell surged forward on the left, spotted an unmarked McKay in front of the Galway goal and teed up the defender to palm the ball past Connor Gleeson, prompting a huge roar from the Armagh supporters.
