CROSSMAGLEN RANGERS produced a stunning display to see off Leinster champions Garrycastle by a 15-point margin on the second time of asking in the All-Ireland club SFC final replay on Saturday.

And at the final whistle, the Armagh men remembered their former captain, who lost his life just months ago.

James Hughes was shot dead as he sat in a taxi on the way home from a night out last December and Stephen Kernan held back the tears while paying tribute to his friend in a heartfelt speech.
