Armagh were promoted to Division 1 of the Allianz Football League with a 1-18 to 1-13 win at Cusack Park on Saturday while results elsewhere ensured Clare will remain in Division 2 for next season. 

A good start and a strong finish earned Armagh the victory with a Callum Cumiskey goal opening the scoring before five unanswered points at the end pushed them over the line.
