Grimley: We didn’t take Rossies lightly

Armagh assistant-manager Paul Grimley has slammed claims by Oisin McConville that a complacent approach was responsible for the Orchard County’s shock defeat by Roscommon.

Paddy O’Rourke’s troops headed into last Sunday’s All-Ireland qualifiers’ opener against the Connacht outfit at Hyde Park as red-hot favourites to clinch a second round place.

Roscommon had suffered a 14-point hammering in the provincial campaign by Galway, who were subsequently beaten by Sligo, whereas Armagh had impressed in running Tyrone to a three points deficit in the Ulster semi-final.
