Armagh claim first-ever Lidl National Football League Division 1 title

Armagh 2-12 Kerry 2-9 AIMEE MACKIN AND Kelly Mallon combined for 1-9 at Croke Park on Sunday as Armagh got the better of defending champions Kerry to claim the Lidl National Football League Division 1 title for the very first time.

An earlier Mallon score meant Armagh led 1-3 to 1-1 on the first-quarter mark and this cushion was extended when Mallon superbly split the uprights from an acute left-hand angle. While this looked like being a major blow for the Orchard County, but they were instead galvanised in the minutes that followed Ní Chonchuir’s major. After unanswered points from Mallon, Mackin and Niamh Henderson moved Armagh in front once again, the increasingly-dangerous Mackin rifled an unstoppable shot to the roof of the Kerry net on 39 minutes.

Scorers for Armagh: A Mackin 1-4 , K Mallon 0-5 , N Coleman 1-0, A McCoy, N Henderson, C Doyle 0-1 each.
