Flynn wants better return from Down

Down 1-20 Armagh 1-11

“While this was a satisfying result, there are areas we need to work on,” insists former Waterford ace Flynn.

By half-time at Crossmaglen, Down had victory within their grasp when they led by 0-12 to 0-5 with Paul Braniff to the fore with his accurate finishing. And when substitute Donal Hughes pounced for a goal to complement a further raft of points from Gareth Johnston and James Coyle, Armagh’s resistance crumbled despite an opportunist goal from David Carville and nine points from Declan Coulter.
