Armagh’s goals the difference as they see off 14-man Roscommon in error-strewn contest

Ruaidhrí Fallon was sent off for a second yellow card at Croke Park

In practise, this was as disjointed and error-ridden as any game that Armagh have produced in 2024, albeit the very greasy conditions didn’t help on that front.

Armagh had six wides of their own, but a powerful surge forward and thunderous finish to the net off the crossbar from Barry McCambridge papered over those cracks. That briefly pushed Armagh 1-3 to 0-1 in front before two Conor Cox frees, sandwiching a Niall Higgins point, left two in it at the break.That still felt like a gulf, because Roscommon were hit with the hammer blow of a second yellow card for Ruaidhrí Fallon.
