Down yet to score since the restart.

This is all Armagh need, getting the scoreboard moving. They're cruising and very much in control. It will be hard for Down to wrestle it back.

Andrew Murnin tags on another score for the Orchard County.

It's now three points for the St. Paul's, Lurgan man.

Armagh have a simple free to get the scoring up and running in the second half and Conor Turbitt tips it over.

Down need to throw off the shackles and go after Armagh but they need to stem the tide at the other end and at least stop Armagh scoring

We’re back under way in Clones.

Can Down outdo Monaghan and turn this semi-final on its head?

A crowd of 27,423 eagerly await the second half at St Tiernach’s Park as the players return to the field.

Down have a mountain to climb and will need a strong start to the second half if they are to mount a response.

My attitude to this was Down need two goals to win. Armagh have hit them so that's Down's objective in the second half.

Armagh were playing as if they were insulted by the fact that supporters and pundits thought that Down were going to give them a game. Down are apologising for being here. There's no hard hitting and being in your faces.

I think Armagh will go ruthless and go for the jugular.

Unfortunately for Down now with the scoreboard, they have to go after the kickout and Armagh can pick them off. Because of the Westmeath result there are serious ramifications for Down.

After a bright start, Down faded badly in the closing stages of the half.

They lost their shooting accuracy and were punished, with Kieran McGeeney’s side opening up a double-digit lead by the interval.

However, Monaghan’s comeback yesterday is a reminder that there is still time for another Ulster Championship twist.

Tyrone made it three Ulster U20 football titles in a row with a 4-19 to 0-22 win over Monaghan at the Athletic Grounds.

Three first half goals from Shea McDermott, Conor Devlin and Aodhan Quinn, alongside a late strike from substitute Darragh Donaghy, sealed a fourth Ulster crown in five years for the Red Hands at the grade, their 18th overall.

Both sides finished third in their respective groups, but defied the odds beating group winners in the last four - Tyrone knocking out Donegal, while Monaghan accounted for Armagh.

There's history between these two teams from their minor days back in 2023, Monaghan beat Tyrone in the Ulster semi-final on penalties, before losing both the provincial and All-Ireland finals to Derry.

The reigning All-Ireland champions will look aim to retain the national title for a third year in a row when they take on the Leinster champions on Wednesday, 13 May.

From the 18th minute in the game Armagh completely took over. They look a team playing a different level than Down are. They've exerted so much pressure all across the pitch. Their kickouts have been exceptional.

Davy Fitzgerald is to remain as Antrim hurling manager for the remainder of the Joe McDonagh Cup campaign.

Confirmation that Fitzgerald's tenure would continue came following a meeting between the county chairman and a five-man player delegation on Wednesday evening.

Earlier in the week there had been conflicting reports over whether Fitzgerald was still in charge, which resulted in the players boycotting Tuesday's scheduled training session.

The squad trained on Friday evening at Dunsilly under Fitzgerald and the Clare man will remain at the helm for the remaining three McDonagh Cup games, the first of which is away to London in Ruislip next weekend.

That fixture will be followed by home matches against Westmeath and Carlow.

Earlier in the week Antrim GAA denied that Fitzgerald had been dismissed following last week's defeat by Laois and then reinstated to his role after concerns were raised by the squad.

The former Wexford and Waterford boss kept the Saffrons in Division One B of the Allianz Hurling League last year but was unable to prevent the county's relegation from the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship.

This season, they lost league matches to Wexford, Clare, Kildare, Dublin and Down, but their sole victory over Carlow proved enough to avoid relegation on points difference.

Fitzgerald succeeded Darren Gleeson as Antrim boss at the end of the 2024 season on a two-year term with the option of a third.

Armagh in the last 20 minutes of the first half have been excellent. Their movement and attacking play, they've been getting in behind for easy scores.

Goals from Tomas McCormack and Conor Turbitt have Armagh in a commanding lead at the interval.

A calamitous moment for the Mourne men has sent St Tiernach’s Park into rapture, as Darragh McMullan punished Ronan Burns after the goalkeeper ventured off his line, teeing up Turbitt to fire home and give Armagh a commanding lead.

With only minutes remaining until the break, Conor Laverty faces a major task to rally his side and claw back the deficit.

Pat Havern stops the rot for Down. First point for them in 15 minutes having struck three wides in succession. Much-needed score for the Mournemen.
