Jim McGuinness is bidding for his fourth provincial title in the first year of his second tenure as Donegal boss with Kieran McGeeney hoping to win a first Anglo Celt as Armagh manager
One year on from their penalty shootout agony, Armagh get a shot at redemption in the Ulster SFC final in Clones. This time, Donegal stand between them and the Anglo Celt Cup.
After losing their Division One status last season, Armagh made a swift return to the top flight this year, but they lost the Division Two final to today’s opponents. Just one point separated the sides in the Division Two final while they played out a draw in round four at the Box-It Athletic Grounds in February.
O’Neill was Armagh’s best player in their semi-final win over Down and is ability to kick scores from 40-50 metres could be the key to Armagh’s chances this afternoon. That means Caolan McColgan keeps his place in the 26-man squad after being drafted in for Hugh McFadden among the Donegal substitutes while there is still no sign of a return for Eoghan Ban Gallagher.: Shaun Patton; Mark Curran, Brendan McCole, Ciaran Moore; Ryan McHugh, Caolan McGonagle, Peadar Mogan; Jason McGee, Michael Langan; Shane O’Donnell, Ciaran Thompson, Daire Ó Baoill; Paddy McBrearty, Oisín Gallen, Niall O’Donnell.
Down played against the wind but found themselves 0-6 to 0-3 in front at the break, although John O’Hare made a fine save to deny Finnegan early in the half while Conor Hand picked up a black card for the Saffrons. The Ulster SFC burst into life with two rip-roaring contests in Celtic Park and Kingspan Breffni for the second quarter-final weekend.
