Armagh have beaten Kerry to reach the All-Ireland SFC final after a day of drama at Croke Park.
Kieran McGeeney’s men raised the bar once again to see off the Kingdom by two points in extra-time.
It will be the Orchard county’s first appearance in an All-Ireland SFC final since their defeat to Tyrone in 2003.
They never looked back after Barry McCambridge’s goal closed the gap.
After the game finished 1-14 apiece in normal time, it was the Ulstermen who came out stronger, fashioning a three-point lead before Kerry reduced that deficit to one point.
Conor Turbitt, however, made sure of Armagh’s victory at the end when he raced through and fisted the ball over the bar to scenes of delirium among the Orchard fans at Croke Park.
