In the earlier junior final, Arva overcome Listowel Emmets to In front of 8, spectators, the intermediate decider was tight and tense at first, before a thunderous Pearse Casey point and a superb Nugent score from just inside the metre line put St Patrick's to ahead. Then came the three-pointer, when Mickey Murray's short dropped short but was gathered by Neil McCreesh, and he supplied Nugent who finished emphatically into the roof of the net, which helped his side to their four-point interval advantage. In the second half, Cullyhanna were starved of possession for long spells, but their opponents couldn't exploit that on the scoreboard. Cill na Martra kicked the All-Ireland title away, as they missed an astonishing 18 scoring chances, with 16 wides and two shots dropped short. Cullyhanna were more clinical, and Shea Hoey and Jason Duffy punished the Cork side for their profligacy, as they rounded out the scoring with Cullyhanna four ahead. It wasn't the prettiest of wins, but Cullyhanna held on to become Armagh's first ever All-Ireland Intermediate club football champions. In the opener at Croke Park, it took Arva a while to get going, but once they did, they were unstoppable against Listowel, as they blew the Kerry men away in the second half. Listowel were the better side in the first half and after top displays from Cormac Mulvihill and David Keane they deservedly led to at the break. But Arva came out of the changing rooms a different team, and shifted the momentum of the game, before they thoroughly dominated the action in the second half.

Glen's Conor Glass celebrates scoring his goal against St Brigid's. Storm Isha played its part in this All-Ireland club senior football final at a blustery Croke Park, but it was nothing compared to the impact of Conor Glass who proved an unstoppable force as he inspired Glen to a whirlwind comeback. But the difference in the end was Glass. And while it might seem oversimplified to toss the outcome of this club final on the shoulders of one player, rarely has anybody lofted a team upon their back and carried them over the line like Glass did on Sunday. They had also been reduced to men for a minute period when Cathal Mulholland received a black card in the 48th minute. The prospect of losing two All-Ireland finals in 12 months looked very realistic. So, when Conleth McGuckian popped a quick free in the direction of Glass with just two minutes of normal time remaining, and three points separating the sides, it was clear Glen would need something special to wriggle out of the hole in which they found themselves. As he spun away to jog back towards the middle of the field, Mulholland returned from the sin-bin, the pendulum had swung. What we could control was the next kickout, the next attack, that sort of way. I was lucky to get on the end of it, I put my foot through it, and we kicked on from there.
