McShane wary as Armagh facing tough Red Hand challenge

ALL-IRELAND champions Armagh continue the defence of their title with a mouthwatering Ulster MFC final against Tyrone in Clones tomorrow.

Armagh claimed national honours for the first time in 60 years after a close final against Mayo at Croke Park last September and are desperate to achieve back-to-back success.

They beat Derry 2-9 to 2-8 in round one, Monaghan 1-13 to 1-8 in round two and Cavan 1-10 to 0-11 in the semi-final. However they were fortunate in that last game as a last-minute Conor Gough goal secured victory.
