Armagh 2-14  Kildare 2-08

Armagh Minors booked their place in the All-Ireland semi-finals with a six-point success over Kildare at Breffni Park in Cavan on Saturday.

Kildare struck an early blow when Colin O’Shea netted but Armagh hit back with a Gavin McParland goal while Eugene McVerry scored six first-half points.

Having trailed 1-10 to 1-3 at the break, Kildare responded with a solo goal scored by Darrock Mulhall.

But an own goal by Tomas Moolick gave Armagh some breathing space.

That put Armagh 2-13 to 2-8 up and Niall Rowland put the icing on the cake with the final point of the match.

Armagh will play Roscommon or Kerry in the semi-finals.
