Armagh’s decision to drop down a tier paid dividends as they cruised to victory in Saturday’s Nicky Rackard Cup final at Croke Park.

Louth will face Armagh in the Nicky Rackard Cup final after a 20-point rout of Donegal at Letterkenny on Saturday.

Armagh overcame two sendings-off to score a comfortable win over Louth in Saturday’s Nicky Rackard Cup first round match at Dundalk.

Wicklow 3-18 Louth 2-9
