Armagh manager Kieran McGeeney has named the same starting 15 which hammered Down for Sunday’s Ulster SFC final against Monaghan in Clones.

The Orchard men advanced to their fourth straight provincial decider thanks to a whopping 3-33 to 0-14 victory over their neighbours two weeks ago.

McGeeney’s selection for this weekend stays unchanged with Blaine Hughes set to start in goal, Aaron McKay and Tiernan Kelly occupying the central positions in defence and Joe McElroy and Jason Duffy partnering each other at midfield.

In attack, Conor Turbitt starts at centre half-forward with Andrew Murnin leading the line from full-forward where he’ll be flanked by Cian McConville and former Footballer of the Year Oisin Conaty.

Having missed out on the win over Down due to a calf strain, Ross McQuillan is named on the bench along with Barry McCambridge, Aidan Forker and Rory Grugan.

Throw-in at St Tiernach’s Park is at 4.15pm.

Armagh (Ulster SFC final v Monaghan): Blaine Hughes; Peter McGrane, Aaron McKay, Paddy Burns; Greg McCabe, Tiernan Kelly, Jarlath Og Burns; Joe McElroy, Jason Duffy; Darragh McMullen, Conor Turbitt, Tomas McCormack; Cian McConvile, Andrew Murnin, Oisin Conaty.

Subs: Ethan Rafferty, Gareth Murphy, Oisin O'Neill, Ross McQuillan, Daniel Magee, Ciaran Mackin, Barry McCambridge, Ryan Duffy, Aidan Forker, Tomas Galvin, Rory Grugan, Aaron O'Neill, Callum O'Neill, Padraig O'Keefe, Callum O'Neill.
