Joe McElroy
Joe McElroy is a Gaelic footballer who plays for the Armagh Harps club[1] and at senior level for the Armagh county team.[2][3][4][5] He played against Kerry in the 2024 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Semi-Final, helping to send his team through to a first final for 21 years.[6]
McElroy performed a crucial block against an attempt by Galway player Paul Conroy to level the 2024 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final in the seventh minute of injury-time.[7][8] This proved critical to Armagh's eventual one-point victory, as otherwise the game would have gone to extra-time.[7]
