Ulster U20 wrap: Ronan McGeehin saves three penalties as Donegal edge Monaghan

Extra-time, a shock result, and a penalty shoot-out brought drama to the Ulster U20 Football Championship as four ties went to the wire.

Defending champions Tyrone needed extra-time to get over a gripping clash with Armagh at the Athletic Grounds, where they chiselled out a 1-9 to 0-8 win. The Orchard side, playing into the gusting wind, picked off superb points in the opening quarter through Eoin Woods and Justin Kierans but scores from Tiarnan Quinn (2) and Matthew Murnaghan had Tyrone level at the break (0-3 to 0-3). But a straight red card to defender Ryan Jones just before the interval reduced Tyrone to 14 men.
