Monaghan v Armagh is the pick of the All-Ireland Round 2 SFC qualifier draw although Mayo face a tricky encounter against Down at Newry on Saturday week.

Armagh 1-14 Cork 3-9

Playing at midfield, Jarly Óg gave an inspirational performance against IT Tralee to send his team into next week’s quarter-finals.
