Armagh legend Joe Kernan helps preview the Ulster football final clash of Derry v Armagh with Shane Stapleton and Michael Verney.

Joe Kernan believes that Armagh’s biggest challenge in their Ulster final bout with Derry may be overcoming their lack of experience in big games.

The Oak Leafers are the reigning provincial title holders, have contest All-Ireland quarter-finals and semi-finals at Croke Park, and some of their club stars have been to the biggest game last season.

The 2002 All-Ireland winning manager, whose county have not been to an Ulster final since last winning it in 2008, gives his thoughts to Shane and Michael above (click play).
