Galway 1-12 Armagh 0-9: Tribesmen win All-Ireland final replay in Division One opener

Despite the new rules, there was plenty of monotonous back and forth football.

However, the two-pointers provided real entertainment for the Galway fans as Padraic Joyce’s side came into their own in the second half with O Curraoin, Shane Walsh and Paul Conroy all landing outside the 40-metre arc.

Things went from bad to worse for the All-Ireland champions when Grimley was shown a red card for an off-the-ball incident with Galway defender Daniel O’Flaherty.

Armagh face Ulster rivals Tyrone next week, while Galway travel to Mayo.
