Armagh's Jarlath Og Burns and Fermanagh's Darragh McGurn - whose 1-12 saw him named man of the match - speak to GAA+ after the Orchardmen's 2-32 to 1-24 win to move into the Ulster SFC semi-finals:

Burns on Armagh's flying start: "Early on we put in a good shift to take away their confidence. That was something we talked about: not giving them belief early on and keep them out of the game.

"At half-time it [challenge] was about playing to our standards but I wouldn't be very happy with the last 15 minutes.

"They got on top of us, were kicking two-pointers for fun and there wasn't a lot of pressure put on them.

"It's still a good place to be with improvements to make going into a semi-final."

McGurn on Fermanagh's improved second half performance after a poor shooting return early on: "It [mood] was low [at half-itime]. We were gutted we couldn't stay in the game longer. At 16 points down [at half-time] the game is over, so it's easier to come out [in the second half] and start shooting from all kind of places.

"It was just about trying to put a bit of respect on the Fermanagh jersey.

"That was probably the story of our season: creating a lot of chances, doing well on kick-outs but not capitalising.

"They [shots] were in the scoring zone and we just weren't executing. When you take those chances, it gives the crowd energy, gives you energy but when you don't, it saps the life out of you."
