We won by 3 in the end.  Not pretty but a win is a win.  Poor performances by our established forwards, Murphy, marren and Hughes all very poor, some of the young lads, carabiner, Oconnor, Cawley did well based on the commentary.  We have a win, we have another game for the younger lads and we won a must win game.  Lots of work to do..
I used to be indecisive but now I'm not too sure.

After a slow start, this was a good shift by Armagh. When WH scored the goal in the second half Armagh went up and scored 1=05, which more or less ensured the outcome.

That's an excellent victory at a ground where we often struggle. As Armaghniac said, Westmeath scored a goal and a point to take the lead after Armagh led for nearly all of the first fifty minutes. We appear to have responded magnificently, outscoring them by 1-9 to 0-2 from there to the finish. It suggests a very good team spirit, and there was some evidence of this in the first game at home to Sligo. Given the publicity there had been about the players opting out, that is very reassuring to see and suggests a positive response and mindset.

Good win for Fermanagh today against a poor Offally side.
Probably played the 2 weakest teams in the league and we
will have to improve as we are still conceding sloppy goals
Wanted.  Forwards to take frees.
Not fussy.  Any sort of ability will be considered

Last week there was a question mark over the opposition, but to get a similar score over Westmeath is good work, especially after a slow start.

Good spread of scorers

Blaine Hughes; Patrick Burns, Aaron McKay, Paul Hughes; Niall Rowland, Gregory McCabe, Mark Shields; Stephen Sheridan (0-1), Charlie Vernon (0-1); Ryan McShane (0-1), Aidan Forker (0-2), Ronan Lappin (1-0); Rory Grugan (1-4, 0-2f, 1-0 pen) Niall Grimley (0-2f), Ethan Rafferty (0-5, 0-1f).

Did it take us about 20 minutes to score over very first point?  Very slow start.

18 and a half but we hit some poor wides before that.
Some of Ethan's scores were superb

T Fearon

Good win but the chances missed in the first 18 minutes were unbelievable.Also grateful for the traditional poor finish of games by Westmeath.Some good scores from Rafferty and Forker.Mc Corry clearly having a good influence on the line.Home victory over Longford should secure promotion,as we will not lose to Wexford,Fermanagh,Offaly or Derry as long as focus is maintained

Armagh should be in D2.

Armagh moving along nicely now. In truth should be playing division 2 football this year and that bit of anger of not playing in a higher level has been displayed in the two performances.  I do believe promotion should be wrapped up this spring with a game or two to spare.

Patrick-Armagh

After last weeks impressive performance against a inexperienced Sligo side I think a lot of Armagh fans were unsure whether we could repeat this performance against a good Westmeath side who had a great win against Derry. To win like this again is very pleasing and shows that we are indeed in with a good chance of promotion. We should be in Division 2 now but for throwing away wins to last second goals against Sligo and Tipp last season. The team look like they have a ruthless streak in them to ensure this doesn't happen again. It's been well publicised that we are missing a couple of key men and my worry was that we wouldn't be able to compensate for them. So far I'm being proven wrong.
