All-Ireland SFC quarter-finals: Kerry's classy comeback during the second-half at Croke Park this afternoon was enough to see off Ulster Champions Armagh.

Kerry started off with just one change from the side that defeated Longford last weekend with Sean O'Sullivan replacing  Darren O'Sullivan at right half forward, while Armagh opted for the same trusted line up that served them well last time they ran out.

However, while Armagh ran the show early on it was the Kingdom that ended up triumphant after staging  a thrilling comeback after trailing by two points at the end of the first-half.

Kerry bounced back to score five without reply during  the second half and continued to run the game despite the sending-off of Paul Galvin.
