The championship season has almost been drawn to a close, with just one final clash of the titans left before the hands, scarves and headbands go back into the boxes.
Armagh, whose season so far has not been for the faint-hearted Orchard County fan, will be hoping to return to the peak of Gaelic football for the first time in 22 years when current manager Kieran McGeeney was climbing those steps himself and lifting the Sam Maguire himself as captain.
The Orangemen have made it to the final after overcoming a tough Kerry side in a day that will live long in the memories of Armagh fans.
Galway stand in their way, which will suit the Tribesmen as they are familiar with standing between Armagh and the big occasion, beating them in the All-Ireland Quarter-final in 2022 on penalties and holding them to a draw in this year’s round robin to prevent a clean sweep.
Galway have always been talked about as a good football side but have never been taken as serious All-Ireland contenders and when they met Kerry at this stage in 2022, Kerry were favourites and won by four, even with Shane Walsh firing on all cylinders.
Galway won a tight affair in their semi-final against Donegal to prevent an All-Ulster Final and keep them in the hunt for the big prize.
