The Junior Section match finished in a 2-0 defeat to Swindon Town, with the Orchard County seniors losing out to Newcastle United by the same margin.

“In the Newcastle match, we certainly matched them for the first hour,” said Dean McCullough, the County Armagh Milk Cup Association chairman. “The juniors deserve a lot of credit for the second half.”
