It was always going to be a stretch for Niall Morgan, especially when he was kicking into a tricky breeze and particularly when the Tyrone goalkeeper was kicking across his body at such a difficult angle 38 metres from the Armagh goal and just ten metres in from the sideline.
Morgan had the accuracy, but his shot just dipped below the crossbar and was grabbed by Armagh goalkeeper Blaine Hughes. A 2-pointer at that stage, in the 67th minute, would have reduced the margin to one point. But Tyrone were level within a minute after a brilliant Ben McDonnell goal ultimately took the match to extra-time.
