Armagh Kicks Off Division One Campaign with Dominant Win Over Monaghan
In a convincing start to the season, Armagh's Division One campaign got off to a flying start as they cruised past Monaghan by 9 points in Clones. The Orchard County side, managed by Kieran McGeeney, showcased their quality with an impressive 1-27 to 0-18 victory.
The game was almost over at half-time despite Monaghan's late second-half efforts. A goal from Andrew Murnin sealed the win for Armagh, who ran out comfortable winners in a contest that never really looked in doubt.
In contrast, Cavan's Division Two opener ended in disappointment as they squandered a 7-point lead against Cork at Pairc Ui Chaoimh. The Rebels staged a remarkable late turnaround to snatch a narrow 0-24 to 2-17 win, leaving Cavan reeling from their first league loss of the campaign.
Fermanagh's Division Three debut was marked by defeat as Wexford claimed a 4-point victory over the Ernesiders in Brewster Park. Gavin Sheehan netted the winner just before half-time for the promoted side.
Antrim's first game under Mark Doran ended in defeat against Carlow, who built up a 5-point lead despite conceding a late goal to Joseph Finnegan. The Saffrons were unable to mount a comeback and fell to a 2-4 to 0-9 loss at Portglenone.
The Division Three hurling clash between Tyrone and Donegal ended in a 3-23 to 1-18 win for the Tir Chonaill men, marking a slow start for new manager Declan Bonner.

they totally destroyed Monaghan at half-time, what was going through their heads? 
And Cavan's collapse in Cork was crazy, 7 points up and then just losing it all. That Cork team is on fire 
. Fermanagh got a tough start with Wexford winning, but at least Gavin Sheehan scored the winner for them, that's something to build on 
. Antrim's loss to Carlow is a bit of a worry, they looked like they couldn't cope under pressure 
. And in hurling, Tyrone looks like they've got some work to do after getting thrashed by Donegal 
, hope Declan Bonner can sort them out soon 
, I'm loving how Armagh started their season off with such a convincing win! 
Their team is looking super strong and I think they've got a good shot at taking that Division One title 
. The way they dominated Monaghan in the end was so impressive 
. And yikes, Cavan's Division Two opener must have been so frustrating for them 
. They dropped the ball big time against Cork! 
Anyway, I'm excited to see how the rest of the season unfolds 
. Who else thinks Armagh is gonna make a good run in this league? 
strong atm 
... I guess you can't win 'em all. The hurling results are pretty interesting, though - Tyrone's new manager is going to have some work to do 
.
cant wait to see how the rest of their season goes 
.
. Guess that Gavin Sheehan guy is good for a start 
️. Antrim's loss to Carlow isn't too bad though, I mean they had some tough opponents to face 
! Guess Declan Bonner has some work to do 
. And Andrew Murnin's goal was a great finish 
anyway, wexford got a big win in div3 over fermanagh, that's some solid footy 
but overall, armagh is lookin like the team to beat right now 
. And that goal by Andrew Murnin was clutch 
. But I gotta say, Cavan's loss to Cork stings 
. I mean, they had it in the bag and then just fell apart. And Fermanagh got smashed by Wexford 
. And Tyrone's hurling win is cool, but I'm not sure about Declan Bonner yet 
but carlow pulled off a solid performance. one thing's for sure, these teams are gonna be battle-ready by the end of the season
