Armagh led by 1-8 to 1-6 at the end of a thrilling first half, with goals coming from Jamie Clarke and Mark Poland. Between them, the teams registered only five first-half wides, despite the wet and slippery conditions.
The visitors led by 1-9 to 1-8 ten minutes into the second half but the Orchard County reeled off seven of the last eight scores for a convincing win.
Goalscorer Jamie Clarke, Aaron Kernan, Charlie Vernon, Ciaran McKeever, Malachy Mackin and Billy Joe Padden were among the many heroes for the winners.

All-Ireland SFC Connacht Championship 2011: Mayo get past London...
Mayo 0-19
London 2-10
London came agonisingly close to dumping Mayo out of the 2011 Connacht championship at Ruislip.
The brave Exiles gave as good as they got throughout the game but were eventually beaten after extra time.
As London sought their first SFC win in 34 years, Paul Geraghty's goal had them in a strong position at the interval, leading the lacklustre visitors by 1-4 to 0-4.
With some very poor shooting on the day, Mayo can consider themselves fortunate to have progressed to a semi-final meeting with Galway.

New York 1-11
Champions Roscommon cruised into the last four of the Connacht Senior Football Championship on Saturday with a comfortable 16-point win over New York in the Bronx.
Goals from Kevin Higgins, Senan Kilbride and Cathal Cregg were always enough to fend off the challenge of a plucky New York outfit, who had hoped to cause an upset against the visitors, but in the end couldn't live with a side which had completely lifted their game from the previous weekend's disappointing performance in the NFL Division Four final against Longford.
