ARMAGH SET UP a semi-final against Donegal as they beat 14-man Antrim in their Ulster U21 Football Championship replay this evening.
Antrim’s backs were against the wall from the seventh minute when full-forward Ronan McGrady was shown a straight red for an off-the-ball incident
And Armagh took advantage towards the end of the first half, kicking four unanswered points to take an 0-6 to 0-3 lead into the break.

Keeper Ronan Hanna kept Antrim alive with a superb string of saves in the second half as they gradually chipped away and brought it back to a one-score game, 0-10 to 0-9, with just over 10 minutes to play.
But there was to be no miracle as Armagh pulled away again to book their place in the provincial semis.
Thanks for the good wishes for the match tonight. Just the 1st step though. #Armagh#OneLifeOneCounty
