Armagh were awarded a late penalty corner but  Antrim dealt with it without issue and the teams went into the second quarter with the score at 0 &#8211; 0. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thefrontrowunion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231026-Armagh-v-Antrim-131-John-McMurtry-1-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-609091\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sophie Simmonds gets ready to send in the opening goal for Armagh. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The second quarter continued in a similar vein though as the quarter progressed it got noticeably busier around the Antrim D. The quick reactions and well timed interventions by Shirlow looked to have thwarted the home team but in the last minute a well placed pass from <strong>Kate Livingston <\/strong>was driven in by <strong>Sophia Simmonds<\/strong> to give Armagh a 1 &#8211; 0 lead at the stroke of half time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thefrontrowunion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231026-Armagh-v-Antrim-128-John-McMurtry-1-800x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-609093\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A big game from Kate Livingston saw hwe pick up two goals for Armagh<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The third quarter was also well contested but the Antrim defence was under increasing pressure as Livingston became more influential with some driving runs. Again it took the full quarter for Armagh to get past the resolute Antrim defence but they eventually succumbed in the last play  as Livingston converted an end of quarter penalty corner to give Armagh a 2 &#8211; 0 lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thefrontrowunion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/20231026-Armagh-v-Antrim-064-John-McMurtry-1-800x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-609094\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Another neat and precise performance from Cadence Gillespie is rewarded with a late goal for Armagh<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Antrim had to push out in the final quarter but it just left space at the back for Armagh to exploit. The impressive Livingston added her second at the start of the quarter and the neat <strong>Cadence Gillespie<\/strong> got the final touch, on a late effort, to give Armagh a 4 &#8211; 0 win in an entertaining game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" style=\"text-transform:uppercase\">Match Gallery<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>[foogallery id=&#8221;608886&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I took a break from the All Ireland Irish Schoolboys Championship to scoot over to College Hill, Armagh for the Junior Cup match between The Royal School and Antrim Grammar on Thursday afternoon.
