Armagh captain Aidan Forker celebrated a long‑awaited triumph as the county lifted its 15th Ulster title with a 2-28 to 0-25 victory over Monaghan in extra time. The match, played at Clones, saw the Armagh side lead by seven in the second half before Monaghan clawed back, forcing an extra‑time showdown.

At the start of extra time, Oisin O'Neill's goal proved decisive, giving Armagh the edge they had lacked in their previous four finals. Forker, reflecting on the season, said the team’s endurance and tactical tweaks paid off, saying the years of loss had finally turned into a deserved win for the county and its supporters.

Fans will remember the early lead, the comeback, and the extra‑time goal as a classic example of resilience, turning heartbreak into celebration on a night that will be replayed for years. They also secured a top spot in the provincial standings, ensuring a favorable seed in the All‑Ireland series today.
