Favourites Armagh need extra time to beat Donegal 0-17 to 1-13 in the Ulster Ladies SFC Final after the underdogs dramatically levelled late in normal time.
Strong favourites Armagh needed extra time to beat Donegal 0-17 to 1-13 in the Ulster Ladies Football final after the underdogs had dramatically levelled in the closing seconds of normal time.
After the Armagh men's side last weekend blew a glorious chance to win a first Ulster title since 2008 when squandering a four-point lead to lose to Donegal in a penalty shootout, the Orchard ladies looked in danger of suffering a similar fate when John McNulty's side dramatically forced extra time. Carr settled for a point when a goal looked possible and Donegal's ability to create chances for 'majors' was a recurring theme even though Armagh controlled possession for long periods in normal time.
However, Mackin departed seconds after Eva Gallagher had replied for Donegal with the Camlough woman picking up an injury after falling awkwardly following a legitimate challenge from corner-back Abigail Temple Asokuh. The Armagh players would have been forgiven for feeling shell-shocked as they faced into extra time but they regrouped to twice lead by a point in the first period thanks to two Henderson points only for White to level on both occasions.
