Armagh move into the Ulster Championship semi-finals with a hard-fought victory over Antrim in Belfast.

Antrim can be proud of their first-half effort as they led by a point at the break but Armagh ultimately proved too strong and the All-Ireland champions await either Tyrone or Cavan in the last four.

The scores keep on coming for Armagh as Cian McConville moves Kieran McGeeney's men 14 points clear.

Clinical stuff from the Sam Maguire holders.

It's been a brave effort from Antrim but Armagh have just proved too strong.

A moment to remember for corner-back Tomas McCormack on his championship debut.

It's just slipping away from Antrim now. It's going to be difficult. They gave so much energy in the first half. It's becoming ominous now. It was always going to be difficult to keep up those energy levels.

Can Antrim pull off one of the all-time Ulster Championship shocks?

Most of Antrim's physicality has been within the rules and it has generated a huge amount of belief both amongst the players and in the stands. They deserve credit. It's energising them.

Paddy McBride, who made his Antrim debut in Casement Park 12 years ago, found his range with the two-pointers during that first half.

Can the St John's club-man send a few more over the bar in the second half?

Another Paddy McBride two-pointer - his third - puts Antrim two points ahead but Armagh have the final say of an enthralling first half with a fisted Darragh McMullen point.

There's plenty of football left, but Antrim lead the All-Ireland champions at half-time. We've a game on our hands alright.

Antrim are given a penalty by referee Barry Cassidy and Armagh goalkeeper Ethan Rafferty has been black-carded after tripping Ruairi McCann as the Antrim forward attempted to retrieve the ball right in front of the Armagh goal.

Huge moment!

Dominic McEnhill's two-pointer briefly put Antrim 0-5 to 0-3 up but Armagh have responded as you'd expect, with a two-pointed Ethan Rafferty free followed by a Ross McQuillan score and two Rory Grugan points.

Armagh are dominating Antrim's kick-out in the opening 20 minutes and Antrim goalkeeper Mick Byrne has arguably kept his side in it with two excellent saves to deny certain Orchard goals.
