Armagh will leave 'no stone unturned' before Ulster final
Armagh's Jarly Og Burns said the side will "be leaving no stone unturned" before their Ulster Senior Football final against Monaghan on Sunday 17 May. A record-breaking 3-33 to 0-14 victory over Down in Sunday's semi-final sealed Armagh's spot in their fourth successive Ulster final. Despite winning their second All-Ireland title in 2024, the Orchard County have not lifted the Anglo Celt Cup since 2008 after losing the past three finals.
"We've been here three times, we've had experiences, but not the experience of winning it yet," Burns told BBC Sport NI. "The hunger is still there and very much in the semi-final, our wants had to be higher than theirs [Monaghan's]. "We still want it and we'll be leaving no stone unturned in two weeks.
" Armagh have had injury concerns during recent weeks with wing-back Ross McQuillan injured before the semi-final and midfielder Ben Crealey sidelined after breaking his ankle during training. However, Burns added that the side have plenty of players "waiting in the wings". "It's next man up and you know there's players waiting in the wings, waiting for an opportunity and they're taking it," added the Silverbridge club-man, who scored 0-4 in the win over Down.
"Look they are huge losses to this team and leaders but, again, that's what's all about. "You're waiting in the wings for an opportunity and when it comes, you have to take it, or you'll be back of the line. "
