The Roscommon forward clips over a consolation score at the death.

Its been an inspiring performance from Oisin Conaty who is on the end of Aaron McCabe's pass and guides over another fine score. 

There will be 3 minutes of additional time as Conor Cox takes his mark but slices his effort horribly wide. 

Armagh are almost there! Aaron Grimley shifts the ball to Oisin Conaty who collects his third point of the afternoon. 

Oisin Conaty and Aidan Forker combine to shift the ball up to Stefan Campbell who wins the free. Conor Turbitt drills it over in front of the sticks. 

That's a fine point and unbelievably Diarmuid Murtagh's first of the game as he trails behind Conor Cox, receives the handpass, and clips over from 35 metres. 

The St.Bridgid's clubman has been immense for the Rossies today and fought bitterly hard for that score under pressure from several Armagh defenders.

The experienced combination of Stefan Campbell combines with his captain Aidan Forker to raise the umpire's white flag.

Here's a look at that Conor Turbitt goal that has Armagh 5 points clear: 

Davy Burke throws caution to the wind as Cathal Heneghan enters the fray. 

Diarmuid Murtagh's effort clips the posts and there is a scramble for the breaking ball. Aaron McKay scoops up the ball before Conor Cox can turn for goal. 

Collecting the loose ball, Adam McDermott cuts infield and fires over from 25 metres directly in front of the posts to cut Armagh's lead to 5 points.

Conor Turbitt fails to split the posts shooting into the Hill 16 End and amasses Armagh's seventh wide of the game.

Davy Burke has refreshed his full-forward line with Adam McDermott replacing Donie Smith.

The move comes as part of a double swap with Aidan Forker replaced by Ross McQuillan.

GOAL FOR ARMAGH!

Roscommon go short with the kickout and Armagh press up aggresively. The ball is dislodged and fed to Conor Turbitt who remains cool to pick out the top left corner. 

Oisin Conaty drills over his second point of the second-half. 

The Eire Og clubman converts the resulting free bringing his personal tally up to 0-4 for the afternoon.

Brian Stack is fouled by Tiernan Kelly who leaves his hand in high over the corner-back's shoulder.

Having come off the bench at the interval, Stefan Campbell has already tagged on 0-3 and this was the pick of the bunch as he cut loose from his marker to score.
