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]
