Éamonn Fitzmaurice: Armagh flex muscles and McCarron joins the wizard tier

Elsewhere a hard-working Dublin team showed they are not done yet, and Westmeath just about earned the right to play them in the Leinster Final.

What a championship we are enjoying. A short few weeks ago in the pre-championship supplement, I encouraged everyone to live in the present and to focus on one weekend's action at a time rather than constantly looking down the line to see what is next.

I have heeded my own advice and am savouring the action we are being spoiled with each weekend. The quality, variety and ferocity of the football, coupled with the unpredictability of many of the results, means we are having a summer to remember, so far.
