Armagh joint manager Darnell Parkinson said that strong competition for places is driving the standard for the reigning NFL champions as they maintained their 100% start to the defence of their crown with a 2-14 to 1-10 win over Mayo.

“We were happy with the first half, maybe not so much with the second half but it’s always good to get a win and still come out with a lot of things to improve on. We got to use a lot of our squad as well, so you’ve got to take that into consideration,” he said.
