EirGrid Ulster Under 21 Championship Semi-Finals

Armagh v Derry, Healy Park, 8pm

A win over holders Monaghan was a significant achievement for Derry, who are looking to advance to a first provincial decider at this level since 2008.

Armagh contested an Ulster Final the following year so they want to return too ensuring this evening's clash will be keenly contested.

Shea Loye was outstanding for Armagh scoring 2-7 in their Quarter-Final victory over Down.

Derry produced a diligent display when beating Monaghan with Jamie Donaghy and Tiernan Flanagan netting vital goals.

Cavan v Donegal, Brewster Park, 8pm

Donegal's Allianz Football League Division One campaign has been hugely encouraging because so many youngsters are contributing handsomely.

Several of those involved will feature for Declan Bonner's outfit against Cavan in Enniskillen.

Eoghan Ban Gallagher, Jamie Brennan, Michael Langan and Michael Carroll have impressed for a developing Donegal team.

Last week's Quarter-Final replay win over Tyrone confirmed Donegal's potential, but they will treat the Cavan challenge with the utmost respect.

Cavan won four provincial titles in a row between 2011 and 2014 and Caoimhin O'Reilly and Ryan Connolly are highly rated attackers.

Reilly registered 0-7 on the emphatic win over Fermanagh, while Connolly and Bryan Magee were also in good form.
