ARMAGH fans will be on the edge of their seat on Saturday afternoon, be it on Jones’ Road metres away from the action, in the Armagh City Hotel or halfway across the world.

Kieran McGeeney’s side impressed in their quarter-final win against Roscommon and in recent seasons have made a habit of making the latter stages of the Championship season, but haven’t made it to the semi-final since their loss to Tyrone in 2005.

In the last two seasons, they made it to the quarter-finals but were thwarted in penalty shoot-outs by Galway and Monaghan.

This season, Armagh have performed above and beyond what is expected of them, including getting to the Ulster final and league division two final, losing to Donegal by tight margins on both occasions.

Kerry hope to make another All-Ireland final, losing by two points to Dublin, after a better second half to the season.

David Clifford and Co outclassed Derry in their quarter-final last time out, which was a rematch of last year’s semi-final.
