Armagh march past dour Derry

SPARE a thought for Gerard O’Kane today.

With six minutes to play and the home side trailing by four points, Armagh goalkeeper Paul Hearty batted away the Derry skipper’s tame penalty and, with it, their dwindling hopes of victory.

That they eventually lost by three points will highlight the magnitude of the wing-back’s miss all the more but his manager Damien Cassidy absolved him of any blame afterwards.
