Armagh travel to Croke Park this weekend to take on Kerry in the NFL final, with promotion to the top tier the prize for the winner.
The Orchard have dominated in Division 2B this season, hammering Tyrone, Cavan, Monaghan and Laois on their way to the decider.
Now they have the chance to make all the hard work count. A win on Sunday and they head to Division One for next season.
Armagh have been progressing brilliantly in the last few years so it’s no surprise they’re on the cusp of promotion.

Ronan Murphy’s ladies got off to a flying start when they welcomed Tyrone to Wolfe Tones on the opening day of the season.
