Armagh - The Ultimate Comeback in 2002


We all know that Armagh beat Kerry in the 2002 All Ireland Football Final but it's worth remembering how they won it - dramatically turning a 4 point deficit into 1 point win and holding on for wild celebrations.
With about 16 minutes to go Kerry were 4 points ahead 0-14 to 0-10. Then Armagh upped a gear. Oisin McConville finished a great move with a neat near-post shot into the back of the net. Then Ronan Clarke added a superb point to draw the sides level and the reliable Steven McDonnell knocked over what turned out to be the winning point. So in the last 15 minutes Armagh kept Kerry scoreless while scoring 1-2 and win by a single point 1-12 to 0-14.
