All hell breaks loose during Tyrone and Armagh brawl

Jack O'Toole

Tempers flared in the Ulster U20 semi-final between Tyrone and Armagh on Friday night as both teams engaged in a bench clearing brawl at the Athletic Grounds in Armagh.

Armagh won the match 2-22 to 0-24 after two periods of extra time but the game was marred by violence after a brawl broke out following the final whistle.

Both teams were level at 2-16 to 0-22 at full-time but late scores from Conor Maginness, Rian O’Neill and Kevin McAlinden gave the Orchardmen the win as they advanced to the final of the inaugural Ulster U20 championship.

Armagh will play the winner of the other semi-final between Derry and Down in the Ulster U20 final later this month.
