MAGHERY DENIED CROSSMAGLEN the Armagh three-in-a-row after scoring four goals in today’s senior football final.
Finnian Moriarty’s side ran out 4-9 to 0-17 victors over the kingpins of Armagh at the Athletic Grounds.
Incredibly, it was just Crossmaglen’s second defeat from 40 county, provincial and All-Ireland finals they appeared in since 1996. Their last loss in a championship final arrived against Kilmacud Crokes in 2009.
Today was Crossmaglen's 40th county, provincial or All-Ireland final since 1996. It is only the second one they have lost after Kilmacud's 2009 All-Ireland success.

Maghery struck the net in the opening half through goals from Brendan Haveron and Brian Fox, but Oisin O’Neill’s five-point haul left Crossmaglen ahead by 0-11 to 2-3 at the interval.
Goals from Aidan Forker and Ronan Lappin left Maghery six ahead by the second water break and they powered home from there.
