There will be at least one Ulster team in the last four of this year’s All-Ireland Championship with Armagh set to face neighbours Monaghan in Saturday’s quarter-final.
Armagh claimed a surprise win over Galway in their final Group Two game in Carrick-on-Shannon and, with Tyrone being held by Westmeath in Kingspan Breffni, the Orchard County topped the group.
That extra week off could be vital as Monaghan had to go through the preliminaryquarter-finals after losing out to Donegal in Omagh.
