Donegal clinch a dramatic Ulster Football Championship triumph as Armagh's penalty shootout hoodoo continues at Clones.

Armagh led by four points after 53 minutes and by two in the second period of extra time but couldn't shake off Donegal who triumphed in the penalty shootout

Armagh looked set to end their 16-year barren spell in Ulster as a Stefan Campbell point put them 0-15 to 0-11 ahead after 53 minutes of normal time. Kieran McGeeney's Armagh side led 0-18 to 0-17 after the opening period time and looked likely winners as a towering Oisin O'Neill score and Aidan Nugent point put them 0-20 to 0-18 ahead with six minutes of extra time remaining.

The agonising penalty shootout defeat by Derry 12 months ago also meant that Kieran McGeeney - the longest serving GAA senior inter-county manager - had gone into his 10th season in charge still seeking the first piece of silverware of his reign.
