Kelly Mallon led the way as last year’s runners-up Armagh defeated Kildare by 0-13 to 0-9 as they bounced back from an opening round loss to Waterford. Mallon kicked five frees for an Armagh side who led by 0-7 to 0-4 at the break and they pushed on for victory despite Alannah Prizeman also shooting five frees for Kildare. In Division 2, meanwhile, there were wins for Mayo, Donegal, Cavan and Tyrone, with an abundance of goals across the division. Donegal also had three points to spare as they too notched a second win of the campaign as they defeated Monaghan by 2-10 to 0-13. In Division 3, there were wins for Louth, Down and Antrim, while Fermanagh and Roscommon drew in a high-scoring game.
