Jarly Óg Burns and Ross McQuillan also scored points in extra-time.

It looked like Kerry were heading to victory until a goal from Barry McCambridge brought Armagh back into the game.

Dylan Geaney's late equalising point for Kerry sent the game to extra-time, but this time it was Armagh who were victorious after a number of late heartbreaks in recent years, including penalty shootouts.
