Then Forker’s head went in the direction of Murphy and the Ballybofey crowd of 13,109 erupted. But with Murphy’s first touch a minute after coming on, he glided through for a point off his left foot. He added another from play, a free, and made a sensational catch from an Armagh kickout.It had started relatively promising for Armagh.
