Primal Scream's 'Moving' On Up' is blasting around St Tiernach's Park and the lyrics pretty apt for Armagh given their past disappointments here in recent years. They are certainly out of the darkness today, but of course there is much more to play for this season. Will this prove to be a springboard for another charge at Sam Maguire?

They say an organisation is reflective of its leadership and this current Armagh group is really demonstrating all the qualities that Kieran [McGeeney] showed in terms of perseverance, resilience, preparation, determination and no shortage of quality either.

Armagh have done it after extra-time in a thrilling Ulster Championship final against Monaghan to clinch a 15th Ulster title.
It was a contest of extraordinary intensity and scoring power, finishing with a combined tally of 59 points — a new Ulster final record — just one more than last year’s total in their defeat to Donegal.

If Armagh were winning today, you just knew they would have to do it the hard way.
The previous three finals ended in heartbreak but contrasting scenes today. St Tiernach's Park is a sea of orange.

It's been a long time since 2008, there's been a lot of hurt and pain, and a lot of really dark days particularly by this group of players so it's good to see them turn it around and enjoy the good days.
