  7. Clogher set-up is hub for whole communitypublished at 14:56 British Summer Time 4 June 2017

    The local GAA club is regarded as the hub of the community in the County Tyrone village of Clogher.

    Members have worked hard to develop facilities like a walking trail and gym which are available to all local people, not just the GAA players.

    Clogher was used as a training base by the Tyrone senior county side when they won three All-Irelands - in 2003, 2005 and 2008.

  10. Doherty's fingertips denied Armagh third goalpublished at 14:51 British Summer Time 4 June 2017

    Martin Clarke and Oisin McConville have spotted at half-time in the studio that Down debutant Anthony Doherty tipped Murnin's goalbound shot just before half-time on to the upright. It could prove a vital intervention by the new boy.

    It's been a fantastic contest. Just what the Ulster Championship needed. Armagh had five goal chances in that first half. The Armagh full-forward line has looked very dangerous.

  12. Half-time: Down 0-09 Armagh 2-04published at 14:40 British Summer Time 4 June 2017

    Armagh go in one ahead at the break as Stephen Sheridan lofts over a magnificent score from distance.

  13. Close! Armagh inches away from another goalpublished at 14:38 British Summer Time 4 June 2017

    Down 0-09 Armagh 2-03

    Andrew Murnin is inches away from his second goal as his shot comes back off the upright after another mazy run from Jamie Clarke.

  14. Down 0-09 Armagh 2-03published at 14:36 British Summer Time 4 June 2017

    Shay Millar levels from play as the frantic and frenetic nature of the contest continues. A couple of minutes from half-time now.

  15. Down 0-08 2-03 Armaghpublished at 14:33 British Summer Time 4 June 2017

    The scores are flying over here in Newry. An Aidan Forker score is cancelled out by a Darragh O'Hagan Down point before Paul Hughes and Connaire Harrison then repeat the doses at either end. The upshot of it all is that Armagh remain a point ahead. Down's defence is looking decidedly shaky now when the Jamie Clarke-inspired attack is running at them.

  16. A big crowd in the housepublished at 14:29 British Summer Time 4 June 2017

    Down 0-06 Armagh 2-01

    The sense that the Ulster Championship is finally taking off today after a turgid couple of opening weeks is only increased by the big turnout of 16,168 at Pairc Esler.

  17. Another Armagh goalpublished at 14:26 British Summer Time 4 June 2017

    Down 0-06 Armagh 2-01

    What did I say about goal chances coming thick and fast? Armagh rattle in a second goal on 22 minutes as Andrew Murnin slots in from close range after Stefan Campbell's initial shot is blocked. Charlie Vernon was involved in the move before Jamie Clarke delivered a superb pass to a charging Campbell.
