Monaghan 1-12 Armagh 1-16Armagh made a winning return to Division One of the National Football League after a nine-year wait when they got the better of Monaghan in Enniskillen. Armagh raced into a six-point lead after finding the net from a penalty from the first attack and never trailed thereafter. A Seán Jones goal on 13 minutes kick-started a rally by Monaghan and the sides were level six times during the third quarter, but Armagh kicked five of the game’s last six scores. A couple of well-taken scores by Mulligan kept Monaghan in touch, but Conor Turbitt, Rian O’Neill and Grugan nudged Armagh towards the finish line. Monaghan are away to Donegal in round two, while Armagh will be chasing a second win in the space of a week when they host Tyrone.
