Armagh progress to first Ladies Football final

Armagh 1-13 Galway 1-12

Armagh created history at Hyde Park as they won through to their first TG4 All-Ireland Ladies SFC final.

The Orchard women became the first side to win the junior championship and then qualify for the following year's senior final as Sharon Duncan stroked over a last-gasp free.

Galway, last year's beaten SFC finalists, led 1-8 to 1-6 at the break thanks to Lisa Cohill's 26th-minute goal and the point-taking of Gillian Joyce (0-5).

Maria O'Donnell's goal had sent Armagh into a 1-05 to 0-06 lead, and they bounced back with Aileen Matthews tallying up 0-6 before Duncan's late winner.
