Éamonn Fitzmaurice's final verdict: Damien Comer is due one of those unmarkable days
D-DAY FOR DAMIEN: There were signs in Galway’s All-Ireland semi-final win over Donegal that suggest Damien Comer could be ready excel on the biggest day of the football calendar. Picture: Seb Daly/Sportsfile
IN THE last three seasons Armagh and Galway have played each other four times, three times in championship and once in the league. Two draws, one decided by penalties, a one point win for Armagh last season and a two-point win in that league match for Galway illustrates how little is between the sides.
While the managers have history and a healthy respect for each other there is an edge to the rivalry between the players. There was that big blow up in the quarter-final two years ago but even in their most recent game in Sligo in June there was a bit of a flare-up straight after half-time, emphasising the intensity of the rivalry. Two groups clawing at each other to get to the summit.
