2021 - Athletic Grounds, Armagh: Division One North
Armagh 1-16, Donegal 1-16
For the second week in a row, Donegal clawed themselves out of a tough situation without Michael Murphy leading the way for them.
They eked out a draw at the end, killing the last few minutes of the game knowing that outcome would put them into the semi-finals.
Donegal lost Neil McGee in the warm-up and Armagh went in 0-10 to 0-6 up at the break. They kept the scoreboard ticking early in the second half before Michael Langan crowned a run from inside his own half and thrashed the ball beyond Armagh goalkeeper Blaine Hughes to the net.
