Derry maintain winning form

Derry 1-14 Armagh 2-7

Three players saw red at Celtic Park as Derry maintained their winning start to NFL Division 1B.

The Oak Leafers roared back after leaking first half goals to Brian Mallon and Stephen McDonnell, and losing Patsy Bradley to a straight red card early on.

Mallon’s effort was cancelled out by an Eoin Bradley green flag but McDonnell’s goal and three Oisin McConville points saw Armagh lead 2-05 to 1-04 at the interval.

Armagh then lost Francie Bellew and Andy Mallon to second bookable offences. A six-point burst with Paddy Bradley and Enda Muldoon hitting two apiece saw Derry resume control.
