Christy O'Connor: Armagh v Donegal finally a relationship of equals

In their history, Armagh and Donegal have never been in a place where they both now find themselves together.

Armagh and Donegal have never been in this position at the same time before 

Seven minutes into the 1999 drawn Ulster quarter-final, a John Duffy goal put Donegal six points clear of Armagh. It was Donegal’s second goal. They could have had a third a minute later. Donegal were rampant. Armagh were all over the place.
