Maghery (Armagh) 1-13 

Ramor United (Cavan) 1-10

Stefan Forker starred as Maghery scored five late unanswered points to overhaul Ramor United in an entertaining Ulster club SFC quarter-final at the Athletic Grounds.

The Cavan champions, who needed a replay to see off Castlerahan last Sunday, led by 1-5 to 1-2 at half-time and were still ahead with five minutes remaining. But in a game that was level six times, Maghery finished strongly to set up a semi-final date against Kilcoo, with Forker scoring five of his six points in the second period.

Making their provincial debut, Maghery were three points up when Aiden Forker netted in the 11th minute. But James Bradley replied almost immediately with a Ramor goal and they scored four of the next five points to lead by three at the break. 

Stefan Forker eventually brought the Armagh kingpins level in the second half before they finally got on top in the closing stages.
