Aaron Hughes beat Tommy O’Sullivan in the first leg of a great Armagh double at Lyre, with Austin McKeown completing it with his win over Darren Kelly.

Hughes easily beat O’Sullivan’s first shot with a super bowl towards the soccer pitch. O’Sullivan only beat that by 40m with his second shot. Hughes kept him under pressure with a good second towards the forestry. O’Sullivan beat that well, which cut Hughes’ lead to 50m after three. O’Sullivan raised the pressure in the next two past the tunnel to hold the lead at 50m. Hughes won the next exchange well.
