Walsh put Galway ahead on 55 mins from a free, before Andrew Murnin and Rory Grugan helped Armagh back in front.

Grugan went on to kick the winner on 74 mins to give Armagh the win and guarantee a place in the quarter finals of the competition.

Conor Turbitt, Rory Grugan (0-4 each) and Andrew Murnin (0-3) were all on form for Kieran McGeeney's side in front of the posts.

For Galway, Shane Walsh hit 0-5, Sean Kelly scored 1-1, while there were 0-2 each for Peter Cooke and Cillian McDaid.
