Down scored a first Championship win over Armagh in 25 years, but they won’t be making any bold forecasts of a major breakthrough following this unconvincing success against a misfiring opponent.

Armagh have claimed their first ESB Ulster Minor Football Championship title since 2005 following an exciting 1-08 to 1-05 win over neighbours Down at St Tiernach's Park, Clones this afternoon.

AFTER the trauma of last year’s All-Ireland minor final replay defeat, Mayo boss Ray Dempsey sets off on the 2009 campaign trail tomorrow in the Connacht MFC semi-final against Galway.

Down 1-12 Fermanagh 0-4
