Armagh are through to the semi-finals of the Ulster football Championship after beating Down in a dramatic derby in Newry yesterday.
The Mourne men had Caolan Mooney sent off at the end of the first half but still managed to force the tie into extra-time.
However, a goal from Andrew Murnin in the second additional period saw the visitors to a one-point victory.
The final score was 2-17 to 3-13 - 23 points to 22 on a day to remember for the Orchard County fans ...

They now face Cavan in the Ulster semi-final on 2 June.
