Armagh finally got the Ulster-SFC-title-monkey off their back, having lost either on penalties or after extra-time in the last three finals before today.
It once again went to extra-time in Clones, with Armagh pulling away for a 2-28 to 0-25 win over Monaghan.
Speaking after the game, man-of-the-match Oisín Conaty praised his manager Kieran McGeeney and the coaching team.
He said: "It's about time we got over the line.
"It's all down to him and his management team and the background team.
"We would never be anything without them, it's all down to them."
On their celebrations, he laughed while saying: "We'll enjoy tonight, maybe tomorrow if he (McGeeney) lets us."
McGeeney was interviews himself and was pretty clear that it won't be a two-day party, stating firmly that "they're allowed to celebrate tonight."
