He kept blowing Derry for it and ignored a number of Armagh over carrys. Great to win especially when the ref is favouring the other side so much.

Armagh played reasonably well the first 2/3 of the game but Sargent took over from the 40th minute and pushed Derry on with the goal coming at a great time.

2 in a row is some achievement well done to all!!!

Brilliant last 20 from Derry.
Much the better side in the end and the ref kept Armagh in it. Probably should have been 6 or 7 in it at the end only for him.

Sargent is some footballer.

Congrats to Derry, 2 in a row is some achievement.

Armagh will be sick tho, 3 butchered goal chances & a soft penalty. Derry got on top for about 10 minutes and the damage was done.

Nine scores to ten. The goals proved the difference in the end and all the more frustrating for Armagh that the first goal was a debatable penalty.

Both have good players coming through and will be interesting to see how many go on to be established senior footballers in the years ahead.

He hopefully has a big future ahead of him. Great talent.

Great captain's speech lol. Some baller.

Close game.
Armagh better for 40 mins but messed up some goal chances.
At times looked like Armagh had more players on the field.
Then Sargeant made some big plays and Derry got on top and they messed up some chances to close the game out themselves.
Ref was OK overall. Maybe did give Armagh the benefit of doubt at times but sometimes that happens for the harder working team.
Will be very interesting to see these teams meet at under20.
Well done to Derry on winning 2 in a row and having to beat the same opponents again. Neither of those is easy.

Minor should go back to 18.
Final should go back to Croke Park.
Final should be on before senior Final.

Thought he was poor the other way tbh!

Well done to Derry thats a serious team and Sargent was unreal. Hard luck to our lads, something to be proud of for the first time in years.

Derry played 10 mins in the first half and about 10mins in the 2nd, poor overall but its getting the win which is important. Ref give some baffling decisions at times. Trying to get a goal at the end instead of the insurance point summed up their performance. Derry now has 4 exceptional strong teams in 5 yrs, so we doing sthing right.

Well done Derry, some team. Armagh didn't take their chances, I think the ref was trying to atone for the soft penalty decision in the first half.

You can't count the ref.

Fair play to Jarlath Burns also, actually done some research on young Sergeant, compared to Larry McCarthy who would get your name wrong

Was sitting behind the Derry dugout. One of the Derry selectors started shouting about steps from the first minute when an Armagh player took a second step with the ball. Was at it the whole way through the match until Paul Faloon told him to be quiet or sit down. He kept going. Fourth official came over and told him the same. He kept going. Brutal stuff altogether. Come home to see the Derry lads at it on here as well. There were a couple of instances that he got the calls wrong for both teams but Jaysus lads.
Armagh the better team for long periods but the lad Sergant was the difference. A class player.
