Armagh will face Down in the second round of the Dr McKenna Cup at the Athletic Grounds. This match comes after a rescheduling due to adverse weather conditions. The Orchardmen began their campaign with a loss against Tyrone at their home venue. Originally, they were set to play against Down at Pairc Esler in Newry.
Due to freezing temperatures in the north, the venue was changed to the Athletic Grounds, with Armagh designated as the ‘away’ side. Their last encounter occurred during the Ulster SFC semi-final, where Armagh emerged victorious with a last-minute point from Jason Duffy in Clones.
