Blown away with the athleticism on display in Armagh tonight. Fit, fast and strong ball carriers with brilliant football ability. Massive credit to all involved.

Replying To 222:  "It's amazing the lift a win can give a team, even more debate and discussion on here in contrast to the league. We always dare to dream and will be confident of knocking out derry and getting to a final. It's the monaghan away. I'm a little more cautious, I am unsure if we can hold there fire power for 70 minutes, its a huge step up on cavan and they have taken us apart in the past with minimum fuss. Like ourselves derry can blow hot and cold but I just feel they will get by us."
Can't beat us every time, think we're well overdue to come out the right side against them.

Replying To Farneyblueandwhite:  "Not really considering cavan had twice the wide count of monaghan and missed 4 or 5 goals whereas we missed 2 goal chances but look a win is a win"
The better teams take a higher percentage of their scoring opportunities. Monaghan were simply better than Cavan.

Serious game last night, it was never in doubt. Fair play to the players for looking for changes a few weeks ago, and they backed it up when it mattered. Special mention to Neil and Darren on their work, it might go unnoticed by some but those inside the dressing room knows

A fantastic display. Congrats to Paul O'Connor and his management team. Of course Paul's involvement with these young lads did not just start when he took over as manager. Shame he is not still on Cloghan.

Brilliant win for the U20s against an Armagh team who had levelled all before them this year. Young Doherty again was unreal at centre forward, and the panel showed its depth off the bench. The one worry was a few times Jamie Mooney looked like getting badly caught out away from goals when Armagh won clean ball at midfield. You would hate to lose a key game over something like that. Well done to management, it looked bad in the early rounds but they have pitched the campaign perfectly to date.

Great introduction by young Carey no22 last night for the 20s. Lightening quick and set up the two goals that Kieran Kierans young gasson scored
