Galway’s Danny Cummins celebrates scoring a late equaliser against Armagh
The Orchard county suffered a gutting result at the weekend when a late goal from Galway saw them miss out on what would have been an important two points.
They had to settle for a draw and a single point, which does little to calm their fears of relegation.
Galway scored the goal in the seventh minute of added time, when substitute Danny Cummins fisted to the net.
It was a frustrating game for the Orchard county who will feel hard done by.
Armagh had two players sent off, Ethan Rafferty and Aidan Forker, and they will also be embarrassed about not having scored for 25 minutes of the second half.
Yet there were reasons to be positive. They were leading in the final stages, and Stefan Campbell’s performance was majestic.
Manager Kieran McGeeney praised his players in the aftermath, while at the same time he criticised the referee.
The social media reaction was mixed:

Tough result on Armagh conceding an equalising goal in the last play. So many positives in their performance which deserved the win.

Open game of football in Armagh. 9 apiece at half time. Stefan Campbell putting on an absolute clinic in point scoring so far.

"I thought Stefan Campbell was right footed because he hit an absolute kick off his left a few minutes ago", g'man Diarmuid Blake #Galway
