    As Grugan extends the lead to seven points, Armagh suddenly have daylight between the sides at a crucial stage of extra time.

    It’s beginning to look like a mountain to climb for Monaghan with time running out, though as ever the Farney men will not throw in the towel before the hooter in this gripping Ulster final.

    A classy point from Rory Grugan to stretch Armagh's advantage out to seven. He started each of the last three finals and he's come off the bench this afternoon to play a huge part in extra time to finally perhaps get Armagh over the line in Ulster.

    Monaghan look to be a bit out of ideas and energy but you can't write them off until the game is done and dusted. Certainly at this stage Armagh seem to be on an upward curve.

    After the first Monaghan score, Armagh have taken over. They have just that bit of experience, Rory Grugan sets up Oisin O'Neill to score. It's quite a good finish because Beggan is out on him quickly.

    It felt like an important score and there's a sense of relief Armagh have come out and started well. I do think there is still more in Monaghan but Armagh are in a serious position now.

    Out of nowhere, Oisín O’Neill has flipped this extra-time period on its head, bursting through to snatch a goal and put Armagh firmly in control.

    The Crossmaglen man, who has made an impact off the bench in every Ulster Championship outing this season, is now just one point shy of joint-top scorer in the competition — a telling contribution at the most crucial moment of the campaign.

    A frenetic opening to extra time here in Clones as the intensity shows no sign of easing.

    O’Hanlon has now moved his personal tally to six, nudging Monaghan back in front in this absorbing contest.

    But Armagh respond almost immediately through a composed Cian McConville free, with neither side yet willing to take risks in possession as the tension continues to rise in this Ulster final.

    This is a huge psychological test for Armagh. They will be really tested, mentally and physically, and if they can manage to scrape out of this one it will be all the sweeter.
