Armagh are back in an All Ireland Quarter final today for the second year in a row. Last years game against Galway was easily the game of the Championship with a spell of extra time not even separating the sides and the game then going to penalty kicks and as they say the rest is history. Galway advanced and Armagh didn't.
Tomorrow they take on Monaghan and with Rian O'Neill back it should be an interesting game. The last time they met was in the Alliance Football League in January this year at Castleblaney with Armagh emerging winners by 1:14 to 1:12. The last Championship meeting was a sweltering hot day in July 2021 at Pairc Esler with Armagh came out the loser in what was a high scoring game with Monaghan winning by 4:17 to 2:21. What way tomorrow turns out is anyones guess but it is sure to be an exciting day out for the thousands of fans taking to trains, buses, cars and any other form of transport they can find.
Armagh Manager Kieran McGeeney has named his starting team with the return of O'Neill most noticable.
