Tribe defy odds

Galway 1-11 Armagh 0-09

Galway upset the formbook in emphatic fashion at Pearse Stadium on Saturday, producing a performance as surprising as it was devastating, and Armagh just had no answer on the day.

Ultimately, Armagh’s easy passage to this stage served them poorly and while Galway were unconvincing in their victories over Tipperary and Waterford, those escapes honed a survival instinct.
