Armagh momentum gathers with victory against Sligo

Sligo 1-13 Armagh 1-19

Saturday evening’s eventually comfortable six-point win, over a plucky but overwhelmed Sligo at Markievicz Park, was not without its hiccups but the attacking class of Rory Grugan, who scored 1-5, and substitute Niall Grimley, scorer of six points, made the difference.

There was luck, too, as Armagh’s goal — scored by Grugan four minutes after the restart — came from Sligo goalkeeper Aidan Devaney’s misdirected kick-out which gave possession to Armagh’s lethal captain.
