Armagh 1-11 Fermanagh 0-8: Fermanagh will have to wait for a first provincial title after Armagh prevailed in the Ulster decider at Clones.

A late Steven McDonnell goal sealed the victory for Armagh who claimed their seventh Ulster crown in ten years.

Fermanagh were on level terms after a scrappy opening half (0-4 to 0-4) in which they fired nine wides as Armagh struggled to settle.

And those misses came back to haunt the Ernemen after the break as Armagh dominated possession and proved more efficient in front of goal.

Fermanagh, who had Barry Owens stretchered off with a knee injury, continued to misfire in attack and will now have to rebuild ahead of the qualifiers.
