Ulster champions Monaghan last night confirmed an unchanged line up for tomorrow’s semi-final clash with Armagh.

Referees will make themselves available to managers and players prior to this weekend’s hurling championship games should they wish to be briefed further on the new rule interpretation for penalties and frees.
