Cullyhanna were two points down - 0-17 to 0-15 - in the closing moments of the game when they hit the back of the Crossmaglen net.

Remarkably, it is just Crossmaglen's second loss in the Armagh championship in the last 20 years.
Crossmaglen have lost their second Armagh Championship game in 20 years. #GAA
