Donegal have defeated Armagh 1-21 to 1-15 after extra time in the Ulster Minor Football Championship Round 2 Qualifiers at the Box-It Athletic Grounds this afternoon.

Barry Ward’s youngsters came from behind to lead 0-8 to 1-04 at the break after the home side hit the net after just two minutes of action.

The second-half was a tit for tat affair with the scores finishing level at 1-10 to 0-13 after normal time.
