Regular updates from Croke Park of the first of the weekend’s All-Ireland knockout clashes
Ulster runners-up after losing to Donegal in the final, Armagh saw off Westmeath and Derry - famously exposing their roving ‘keeper strategy once again - before a draw with Galway last time out gave them their place in the quarters. It’s also worth remembering that Armagh have lost their last two All-Ireland quarter-finals, both memorably on penalties.
Roscommon, for their part, were knocked out of this year’s Connacht championship at the semi-final stage by Mayo. In the All-Ireland round robin, they were blitzed by Dublin before losing to Mayo again. Victory against Cavan kept their quarter-final hopes alive before a shock victory over Tyrone sent them into this weekend on a high.
They may well need the shot in the arm of some extra confidence. Roscommon haven’t won at Croke Park since 1980, and plenty won’t fancy them to snap that streak today.Hello all and welcome to live coverage of the first of two All-Ireland football quarter-finals set to take place today. It’s Armagh, it’s Roscommon, it’s Croke Park. Nathan Johns here to tell you all what’s what from HQ. Throw-in is at 4pm and we’ll be building up to all the action until then.
