Armagh frustrate Dublin

Armagh 3-13 Dublin 1-10

Armagh stormed to a deserved victory in this re-fixed clash at Crossmaglen.

The Orchard men put in their best performance of the season to confirm their Division 2 status and relegate Cavan in the process.

Bernard Brogan grabbed a third-minute goal for Dublin but points from Stephen Kernan, Paddy McKeever, Ronan Clarke, Stephen McDonnell and Tony Kernan had the hosts 0-8 to 1-3 ahead at half-time.

Armagh powered clear with second half goals from Charlie Vernon, McDonnell and Clarke, while Dublin had Alan Brogan dismissed.
