Since coming into rule, there have been plenty of big games that have been decided by breach infringements, mostly in the closing minutes. This was one where a decision to penalise Armagh ten minutes into the second half felt crucial to the result. Roscommon needed every bit of that as Armagh turned the screw to finish with an 0-6 run, including further doubles from O’Neill and Cian McConville. Scorers for Roscommon: D Murtagh 1-7 (1tpf, 2tp, 1f), D Cregg 0-6 (1tp, 2f), E Smith 1-2, P Carey 1-0, R Heneghan 0-1, D Heneghan 0-1, A Brady 0-1 (45). ARMAGH: B Hughes; P Burns, Peter McGrane, G Murphy; T Kelly, G McCabe, R McQuillan; C O'Neill, A Murnin; O Conaty, F O'Brien, C Turbitt; C McConville, O O'Neill, J Óg Burns.
