Armagh Senior Football Manager Paul Grimley has tendered his resignation to the Armagh County Board management.

Paul was appointed to succeed manager Paddy O'Rourke in July 2012 and his departure follows Armagh's departure from the quarter final stage of the All Ireland Senior Football Championships after a one point defeat to Donegal on Saturday last.
Paul embarked on a development process with the team when he started and believes now is the time to progress to another level.

In a statement the Armagh County Board said "The Management Committee of Armagh County Board wish to acknowledge the contribution of Paul, in terms of his energy, commitment, loyalty, vision and selflessness, to Armagh.
"Paul joined Paddy O’Rourke as Assistant Manager before accepting the Manager’s position the following year. Paul served Armagh as a player, Assistant Manager for two terms and eventually Manager. Paul Grimley is big in stature and gargantuan in his commitment to Armagh. On behalf of everyone involved in Armagh we extend a hearty thank you to Paul and wish him well."
