    FT: Fermanagh 1-24 Armagh 2-32

    That is a wrap for today's action in the Ulster Senior Football Championship as Armagh move into the last four.

    Kieran McGeeney's side were hugely impressive in the first half, building what was an unassailable 16-point lead at the break, but credit Fermanagh and Darragh McGurn in particular as they fought until the end.

    However, it's Tailteann Cup football for the Ernesiders and an Ulster semi-final for Armagh to look forward to.

    Who will they face? Well, we'll find that out tomorrow when Donegal host Down in Letterkenny at 15:00 BST.

    We'll have live updates from that game but prior to that, we will have a report and reaction from today's game in Brewster Park on the BBC Sport NI website.

    Until then, enjoy the rest of your Saturday.

  2. 'We put in a good early shift to take away Fermanagh confidence' - Burnspublished at 19:23 BST 25 April

    FT: Fermanagh 1-24 Armagh 2-32

    Jarlath Og Burns on Armagh's win, speaking to GAA+:

    "Early on we put in a good shift to take away their confidence. That was something we talked about: not giving them belief early on and keep them out of the game.

    "At half-time it [challenge] was about playing to our standards but I wouldn't be very happy with the last 15 minutes.

    "They got on top of us, were kicking two-pointers for fun and there wasn't a lot of pressure put on them.

    "It's still a good place to be with improvements to make going into a semi-final."

    Improved performance from Tyrone win:

    "He [Kieran McGeeney, manager] is a hard man to please, but you want him to want those high standards and he will take things from that performance to improve on."

  3. 'Second half showing was about putting respect on Fermanagh jersey' - McGurnpublished at 19:16 BST 25 April

    FT: Fermanagh 1-24 Armagh 2-32

    Man of the match Darragh McGurn, speaking to GAA+:

    "It [mood] was low [at half-itime]. We were gutted we couldn't stay in the game longer. At 16 points down [at half-time] the game is over, so it's easier to come out [in the second half] and start shooting from all kind of places.

    "It was just about trying to put a bit of respect on the Fermanagh jersey."

    On Fermanagh's first half shooting woes:

    "That was probably the story of our season: creating a lot of chances, doing well on kick-outs but not capitalising.

    "They [shots] were in the scoring zone and we just weren't executing. When you take those chances, it gives the crowd energy, gives you energy but when you don't, it saps the life out of you."

    Tailteann Cup next:

    "It's hard to know what you an take from that.

    "When you're that far down, it's easier to shott for two-pointers, but it gives us confidence when we back ourselves and throw the shackles off, we can created chances against the better teams."

    Fermanagh's Darragh McGurn is named man of the match and considering the exhibition of shooting he produced in the second half, it's difficult to argue.

    Fermanagh 1-24 Armagh 2-32

    Armagh ease into the semi-final of the Ulster Senior Football Championship with a comprehensive victory over Fermanagh here at Brewster Park.

    The Orchard men really ended the game as a contest by half-time, landing four two-pointers overall.

    They'll meet the winners of tomorrow's final quarter-final between Donegal and Down - that game will be played on Sunday week.

    Fermanagh were guilty of some poor shooting with nine first-half wides, but in the second they kicked seven two-pointers and 1-18 in the second stanza overall, so plenty to take heart in as they head for the Tailteann Cup.

    Special mention to Darragh McGurn who raised five orange flags and finished with 1-12.
