Cormac Donnelly insists Antrim won't be taking Armagh for granted in tonight's Bord Gais Energy Ulster U21HC final at Casement Park.

The Orchard County shocked Derry last week to reach their first provincial final in 31 years and the Antrim captain is refusing to underestimate them.

"We've a serious challenge ahead of us," said the big Ballycastle clubman, who faces his second big game in three days after lining out at full back for the seniors against Cork last Sunday.

"If the players aren't tuned in one to 30, we're going to be in big bother. After one game, you look forward to the next game and the next challenge. It's the one you relish and look forward to.

"Armagh are a serious team. They've Mickey Johnston in there - you couldn't get a more passionate hurling man. Tommy Stevenson is down there too, who trained Antrim for a couple of seasons, so they have two of the best with them."
