Relentless Armagh prolong Fermanagh’s frustrating wait

LONG AFTER the invading orange masses had departed the St Tiernach’s Park pitch Armagh manager Peter McDonnell stood alone and surveyed the battleground, puffing on a cigar he’d saved for victory.

A first Ulster title for the new boss and a win to savour even if it was begotten more of effort than efficiency on his players’ part.

Armagh rolled back the years and did what Armagh teams do best, burning off the opposition with a fire and brimstone performance down the final quarter.
