Armagh overcame a stiff test from Queen's University to claim a 3-06 to 0-12 triumph at Davitt Park.

The Orchard county are on course to make the semi-finals after goals from Ryan Henderson (2-03) and Ronan Clarke (1-00) helped them see off the Belfast students.

Queen's were fully deserving of their 0-10 to 0-02 half-time lead as they played much the better football in the first half.

However, Armagh started to find their range and Clarke's goal 12 minutes into the second half lit the touch-paper for their revival, which was not upset by yellow cards for Martin O'Rourke and Brendan Donaghy.

Clarke helped create a brace of goals for the in-form Henderson and despite the best efforts of Queen's top-scorer James Kielt (0-05), the damage had been done.
