    Another milestone win as Armagh continue down the road

    In Croke Park yesterday Armagh continued on their upward
    trajectory
    and emphasised that they have the Ulster Final defeat well and truly flushed from their
    system. They controlled the scoreboard, if not the match, for most of the contest. Their ability to win
    games even when the opposition have plenty of opportunities is fast becoming a hallmark. While not a perfect
    performance it is a statement result. Beating Dublin in Croke Park is a significant milestone on any
    team’s journey and highlights the power shift away from the capital. The All-Ireland champions and
    All-Ireland series specialists are the first team into the quarter-finals which allows them the luxury of
    planning the month of June in a manner that best suits them, to set them up perfectly for the defence of
    their crown for knockout football.

    Armagh have all the signs of a team that have been on the road together for some time, and of a
    team that are extremely well coached. They tend to have the answers to whatever questions are being asked.
    They are able to shape-shift depending on what the opposition are throwing at them. Take Stefan Campbell’s
    second-half point for example. As they set up an established attack they loaded up their full forward line
    to create space around the arc. Dublin were chasing the game and as Armagh probed they pushed out and went
    man-on-man defensively, rather than zonally protecting the arc. The All-Ireland champions immediately
    appreciated this and Campbell broke into the space left behind between the lines to accept a popped pass to
    kick a point. While it may look simple, in terms of coaching that is the point you are always trying to get
    to. To empower your players to make the right decisions in the moment depending on the situation they are
    being presented with. When that happens it is satisfying.
