The Orchard County used 18 men in total, with all of them having big says in Armagh’s opening round triumph.
Ethan Rafferty
Claimed Armagh’s second score of the evening and ended a 20-minute barren spell. His loose kickout led to the penalty that got Monaghan back into the game.
Aaron McKay
His pacy, direct run led to Rory Grugan’s point in the first half. McKay also assisted Stephen Sheridan’s second half mark.
Aidan Forker
Gave a customary awesome performance at full back. Won a number of turnovers, always an options for kickouts and assisted Rafferty’s score.
Ross Finn
Covered a lot of ground and had a chance to score early on but his effort at goal dropped short of the target.
Conor O’Neill
Enjoyed a good outing and the Killeavy man was unlucky not to register a score. Put in a huge shift around the middle and got up and down the field.
Barry McCambridge
Was up and down the field all evening long. McCambridge may not have saw a lot of possession but done a lot of his work off the ball.
Jarly Og Burns
Will be disappointed he didn’t get on the scoresheet, dropping a first half effort short, but Burns worked hard all evening long.
Stephen Sheridan
Claimed a super mark during the third quarter when Armagh were really on top and rattled off six in a row.
Stefan Campbell
Campbell was named as the official BBC Man of the Match. ‘Soupy’ really stepped up when needed and produced the goods with two late points.
Jemar Hall
Hall was replaced by Jason Duffy at the halfway stage. Was punished for a few fouls in the first half but did win a good turnover.
Rory Grugan
Grugan tapped over a first half free kick and assisted Aidan Nugent’s second point that stretched Armagh’s lead to four.
Tiernan Kelly
Scored Armagh’s only goal of the night and almost followed it up with a point. Kelly was in fine form, working up and down and made a number of good turnovers.
Rian O’Neill
Top scored for Armagh with 0-4. Also showed his willingness to work, getting back to help the defence, making one brilliant defensive catch in the first half.
Andrew Murnin
Murnin finished the match with 0-2 to his name and was unlucky not to have rattled the net in the first half.
Aidan Nugent
Got Armagh up and running with the first score of the game and finished the match with a personal haul of 0-2.
Jason Duffy
His second half shot bounced off the post, but the rebound was pointed by Andrew Murnin. Duffy also assisted Rian O’Neill’s third point.
Niall Grimley
It was great to see Niall Grimley back on the field doing what he does best, plucking kickouts. Grimley made one brilliant midfield catch when Armagh really needed the ball near the end of the game.
Ross McQuillan
McQuillan earned the turnover that led to Campbell’s first point and finished the night with a fisted score himself.
