The Orchard County held off the challenge of Mayo in Ballina on Sunday to book their place in next month's final at Croke Park
Armagh have reached their first ever Lidl National League Division One final after holding off a Mayo revival at James Stephens Park in Ballina.
They wore that favourites tag well, content to soak up pressure and hit Mayo on the break, which they did to great effect. Another Mackin free had Armagh ahead again on 11 minutes, and her team soon took control on the scoreboard on a day when Lauren McConville made her 100 th appearance for the county.
After Mackin followed up with another free, she then turned provider for McCoy for goal number two, and Mayo were reeling. Mackin put five between the teams again but Mayo surged once more, Walsh nipping in for a point before impressive substitute Saoirse Delaney executed a superb finish after a pass from Cannon, leaving the minimum between the teams.
