Croker pain no more as Armagh edge out Kerry | Armagh 1-18 Kerry 1-16 | All-Ireland SFC Highlights

Updated / Tuesday, 17 Sep 2024 14:31

Armagh are through to the All-Ireland final for the fifth time in their history after edging out Kerry by two points in a wildly engrossing semi-final in Croke Park. It was the third year in a row that an Armagh knockout game in HQ had gone to extra-time, except this one ended not in penalty heartbreak but with scenes of delirium at the final whistle. For Kieran McGeeney, who took over the county side at a relatively low ebb and has been 'failing better' for much of his long reign, it was the most cathartic of victories as he guided Armagh to their first decider since he was a player back in 2003.
