Aimee Mackin’s late free gave the Orchard a one-point win in Ballina.
ARMAGH HAVE REACHED their first-ever Lidl National League Division 1 final after holding off a Mayo revival at James Stephens Park in Ballina.
Going into the game with five wins from five, Armagh were strong favourites against a Mayo team that has had a mixed campaign to date. Armagh held a commanding 2-5 to 0-2 lead at the break, but right from the start of the second half, Mayo used the breeze and fired over three points in a row. Cannon made it a tied game at 2-7 each with a great effort from wide on the left. Mackin and Aoife Geraghty swapped scores to still leave it level approaching injury time, but the ever-reliable Armagh free-taker had the final.
She kicked six of them from play and such was Kerry’s dominance, particularly in the second half, Meath were limited to just scoring two points after the break and managed just a single point from play throughout the contest.
