Substitutes Tony Brosnan and Donal O’Sullivan slot over scores as Armagh miss final chance to win it
The teams were deadlocked at 0-6 apiece at the end of a cagey first half, with the visitors surely the happier side having sat back for much of the opening period, content to invite Kerry to try and pick their way through a massed defence.
Those two Kerry frees were converted by David Clifford and Seán O’Shea, though it was some source of frustration that neither man – both making their first start of the season – could raise a flag from play. Clifford still finished Kerry’s top scorer with four pointed frees on a night Kerry had nine scorers.
Points from Rian O’Neill and full back Aidan Forker brought Armagh level on the scoreboard at 0-5 apiece just after the half-hour mark, with Barry O’Sullivan and Stefan Campbell adding a point each for their teams to make it 0-6 each at the break. Early second-half points from Greg McCabe and half-time sub Conor Turbitt edged Armagh into a two-point lead, and it took until the 48th minute until Kerry were back on terms.
