Armagh and Roscommon battled it out three times during the 2022 season, and the game had three very different results.
The Rossies emerged victorious twice and were much the better side when they clashed in the Nicky Rackard Cup.
Armagh did earn a league victory however, that saw them qualify for the Division 3A league final, although they eventually lost to Tyrone.

The most recent encounter between Armagh and Roscommon was on to forget for the Orchard County.
Following on from their tight league meetings the two teams share, this result certainly came out of the blue.

Substitute Eoin McGuinness and Shea Harvey netted in the second half, but the result was way out of reach.

After their first round defeat to Tyrone, Armagh were hoping to bounce back against Roscommon, but it didn’t quite work out that way.

Jim Short top scored on the day for the Orchard County, finishing with 1-2 to his name from wing half back.
