Allianz NHL Division 4 round-up

South Down and Fermanagh produced away wins, and fellow Ulster side Tyrone were also victorious on the opening day of actio in Allianz NHL Division 4.

Meanwhile, Fermanagh raced to a 8-23 to 1-08 victory over Cavan on the 3G pitch at Kingspan Breffni Park.

Sean Corrigan netted four goals for the Erne County side, with Francie McBrien and Brendan McGarry among the other goal scorers.

Rory O'Donnell's charges were in total control over the 70 minutes and led by 4-10 to 0-07 at the half-time break.

At Healy Park in Omagh, Tyrone's hurlers got the better of Leitrim on a 2-19 to 0-09 scoreline.
