Jamie Clarke says Armagh are eagerly looking forward to next weekend's All-Ireland SFC quarter-final against Dublin or Tyrone after their superb win over Kildare.
The gifted Crossmaglen attacker produced a man of the match performance as Kieran McGeeney's men upset the odds with a three-point victory at Croke Park.
"We're now in an All-Ireland quarter-final and it's not where we want our season to end," he told RTE.
"We have a tough game coming up against either Dublin or Tyrone but this is where Armagh should be. We're really looking forward to the challenge next week."
Armagh have beaten Fermanagh, Westmeath, Tipperary and now Kildare in an exciting qualifier run, and Clarke admits they had a point to prove after missing out on promotion from Division 3 of the Allianz League and losing to Down in the Ulster SFC quarter-final.
"In the league we took our eye off the ball in several games. We built the Down game up so much and wanted to put in a big performance. But that didn't happen," he reflected.
"Afterwards we had a look at ourselves individually as players. We asked ourselves did we put in the effort that was required? The answer was no. We made a promise that we wouldn't let ourselves down again. It was important that we turned things around."
