Armagh retain Ulster title with routine win over Donegal
Armagh retained the Ulster Ladies title as they comfortably beat Donegal 3-9 to 0-7 in the final at Clones. In a repeat of last year's decider, Armagh dominated from start to finish as they picked up their fifth title in nine years. Aoife McCoy scored twice in the first 15 minutes as the Orchard County led 2-4 to 0-1 at half-time in St Tiernach's Park. Lauren Coleman netted the holders' third goal in the second half that was a closer affair, as they saw out the 11-point victory. Armagh started with intent in the sun at Clones and nearly had a score within the first two minutes as Caroline O'Hanlon's flighted kick hit the base of the post. McCoy then rifled home a goal for Armagh from a tight angle after being fed by O'Hanlon to open the scoring on five minutes. Niamh Henderson added a point after a period of patient possession from the Orchard County before McCoy raced through and rattled home her and Armagh's second goal on 13 minutes. A free from Susie White on 18 minutes got Donegal on the board for the first time but Armagh went down the other end and pointed. Eve Lavery and Grace Ferguson tagged on two more points as Armagh went in nine ahead at the break. White got the first score of the second half from a free, but Lauren McConville replied at the other end. McCoy then settled for a point after a slick move, when space looked to be opening up for another opportunity on goal. Donegal registered their first point from play through Cait Gillespie and another through Katie Dowds as they continued to fight. Armagh pulled away again with another clinical finish, as Coleman turned and fired low into the bottom corner for her side's third goal. Aoife McColgan opted to point from close range when she may have went for a goal, while Kelly Mallon and Lavery kept the scoreboard ticking over for Armagh at the other end. Eve Gallagher scored two points in an impressive cameo off the bench as she traded scores with Meabh Lennon and Jodie McQuillan, with the holders easing to victory.

Armagh GAA fan selling ‘county passports' for fans ahead of the Ulster Final
A Co Armagh man has taken his county pride to the next level in an effort to raise money for charity ahead of Armagh's clash with Donegal in the Ulster Final. What started as a TikTok joke has led to popular sweet shop owner, Charlie Guy, creating his own Armagh passports for fans seeking to show their support for the boys in Orange in Clones tomorrow. In a video published in April — which has amassed over 105,000 views — Mr Guy said a chief immigration office was needed to deal with and restrict an 'influx of people from Tyrone' into Armagh following the Orchard County's All-Ireland win. 'It was all just a big joke, really it was tongue in cheek after all that stuff Trump was saying, we said we were going to put a border around Armagh and put tariffs on everything that was being brought into Armagh,' he said. Mr Guy, who runs the popular confectionary brand Sweet Guyz, has now dubbed himself head of passport control for the county. 'We have all these people coming from Tyrone or Down that are leaving and working in Armagh, just taking advantage of our hospitality,' he said. 'We need someone in charge of passport control to take control of it.' But despite all the joking, Mr Guy is raising money for a very serious cause following a family tragedy just after Christmas. 'My cousin lost her son and husband in a crash late last year on the Killylea Road, so I always said if I was going to raise money for charity it would be for the air ambulance on her behalf,' he said. Peter Devlin (63) and his son Loughlin (28), who were both from the Tynan area of Co Armagh, died following the collision which happened on December 27. Mr Guy's cousin, Ursula, was also involved in the crash and was airlifted to the hospital where she recovered from her injuries. The family privately donated to the air ambulance following their deaths, but now Mr Guy is hoping everyone in Armagh can get behind the good cause. 'To run the air ambulance for a day costs £7,000 and that's really my goal with the passports, it's to raise enough money for the air ambulance to run for a day,' he said. 'People are really interested in the passports, so I do think it's something we can do.' The passports are available in a variety of shops across the county, but Mr Guy and his border control team will be selling the spoof travel documents to fans at the Ulster Final. 'They are in the Sweet Guyz shops and then we have them in shops in Portadown, Lurgan, Armagh and Newry,' he said. 'We have got a wee stall down in Clones for the match, so hopefully we can get a lot of fans to support the air ambulance — we will be selling sweets for the air ambulance too — they're for Armagh and Donegal fans.' The passports can also be bought online ahead of the double-header showdown with the Ulster Ladies final between Armagh and Donegal also being played in Co Monaghan. The Ladies game will throw-in at 3pm before the men's final at 5:25pm in St Tiernach's Park.
