This is the game-defining kickout I keep talking about. Highlighted the numbers to illustrate the point. Armagh could so easily have stepped off it a man light. Pressed up, really organised, talking, everyone sure of their job against Tyrone’s bunch & break routine. Massive.

[Ray Boyne @AnalysisGaa]

Ulster Championship Reality – The Great Leveller

Armagh came in as favourites
But Tyrone matched them physically and mentally
Effort Stats: Armagh 111 | Tyrone 106

That’s not a gap, that’s a fight.

This wasn’t a game where one team imposed dominance.
This was a game where both teams dragged each other into extra time through sheer work-rate.

1. Effort. Not Just Volume, But Impact

Armagh: 111 effort actions
Tyrone: 106 effort actions

On the surface, +5 is marginal.

But in championship football, that’s:

2–3 extra turnovers
2–3 extra pressure moments
1 extra scoring opportunity

That’s the winning margin (1 point).

Key Insight:

Armagh didn’t outwork Tyrone massively they just had slightly more impact per effort.

2. Platform: Where Armagh Gained Control

This is where the game tilted.

Kickouts

Armagh: 68%
Tyrone: 57%

And more importantly:

Armagh scored 7 from Tyrone kickouts
Tyrone only 3 from Armagh kickouts

That’s a +4 swing from restart pressure alone

This is massive.

Armagh turned Tyrone’s possession into opportunity that’s elite championship behaviour.

3. Tyrone’s Game Plan Worked… Until It Didn’t

Look at this:

More Offensive Play Starts: 52 vs 50
More shots: 40 vs 36
Better shots per attack

Tyrone did a lot right.

They:

Built attacks
Got shots off
Stayed in the game

But…

4. The Deciding Factor. Efficiency Under Pressure

Conversion
Armagh 47%
Tyrone 38%

Wides
Armagh 11
Tyrone 16

That’s the game.

Tyrone:

Created enough to win
But missed too much

Armagh:

Took fewer shots
But made them count

Championship truth:

Shot volume keeps you alive.
Shot efficiency wins games.

5. Possession Profile: A Subtle Warning for Armagh

Armagh lost possession: 23
Tyrone lost possession: 16

That’s significant.

Armagh:

Played more aggressively (especially forward line: 15 turnovers)
Took more risks

Tyrone:

More controlled
More secure

But…
Armagh offset this with:

Kickout dominance
Higher efficiency
Better transition scoring

6. The Big Picture on Why Armagh Won

Armagh Winning Formula

Slight effort edge
Strong kickout platform
Better conversion
Ability to score off opposition ball

Tyrone Reality

Matched effort
Won the attack volume battle
But lost on:

Efficiency
Kickout pressure
Big moments

7. Championship Lens. A Real Takeaway

This wasn’t about talent alone.

This was about:

Effort parity
Decision-making under fatigue
Execution under pressure

And that’s why:
Extra time was inevitable

8. One-Line Performance Summary

Effort matched. Platform edged. Efficiency decided.

9. Stats Guys End Game Summary

If you’re in a dressing room:

For Armagh:

“We didn’t dominate, we executed.”
Warning: possession loss (23) will punish us against top-tier teams

For Tyrone:

“our game plan worked.”
Fix:
Shot selection
Composure
Conversion

Pressing Principles

✅Pressure on the ball
✅Stay connected near the ball
✅Narrow the pitch away from the ball

[Ray Boyne @AnalysisGaa]

That right there, that’s an Effort Stat.

Tactically, he’s beaten.
Structurally, he’s behind the play.
On paper, it’s not his responsibility anymore.

But effort re-enters the play.

And when effort re-enters the play:
•Time compresses
•Angles change
•Decisions rush
•Mistakes happen

That’s how turnovers are created.
That’s how momentum flips.
That’s how standards are set.

One player does it.
Then two.
Then it becomes unacceptable not to.

That’s how standards are built.

[Darren Devine @DarrenDevine92]

With the majority of teams defending with a hybrid zonal defence, the corner back position is getting caught out by following their man too close into the corner.

Defenders should probably allow a few extra yards between themselves and their man once they head towards the corner
