In the first round of the Power NI Dr McKenna Cup, Down Came out on top against Armagh with a winning score of 2:12 to 0:10 for Armagh.
In what was probably the mildest ever weather for a January game, Armagh just never looked as if they were going to emerge winners on a damp but dry day.
Down's first goal in the first half from Ryan Brady helped them to a comfortable lead at half time of 1:7 to 0:5 and Armagh never looked like catching up. The second goal from Down's Conor Laverty half way through the second half finished the game of and Armagh never came back.
Down now take on Monaghan at Clones next Sunday while Armagh are home to St Mary's.
