Down 3-20 Armagh 1-11

Armagh put up a fight initially and kept things close, going into the break 2-8 to 1-7 behind, but the Mourne men’s superior skills and fitness made the difference in the end.

“I wasn’t happy at half-time, some things just weren’t acceptable but I don’t want to be too hard on them, it’s been a hectic schedule,” said manager Ger Monan.
