The game looked over by half time, with the Dubs leading 3-07 to 0-05, and though Armagh improved slightly in the second half, the outcome never really looked in doubt thereafter.
Dublin’s fellow 2011 All-Ireland finalists Kerry also secured an impressive victory, beating Donegal 2-16 to 1-08 in Fitzgerald Stadium.

Goals from Patrick Curtin and Bryan Sheehan enabled Kerry to establish a significant lead, ensuring Michael Murphy’s penalty ultimately made little difference to the game, as the Kingdom ran out comfortable winners.
The day’s other Division 1 encounter was a somewhat tighter affair, with Down overcoming Mayo by 1-13 to 0-11.
The visitors had a four-point advantage at half time, thanks to a goal from Conor Maginn. And following a red card for Aidan O’Shea, points from Aidan Carr and Danny Hughes sealed Down’s victory.
Elsewhere, in Division 2, goals from Johnny Doyle and Alan Smith helped Kildare to a win over Derry. The Ulstermen also found the back of the net twice through Sean Leo McGoldrick and Cailean O’Boyle, though Kildare ultimately held out for the win.
In a game that featured probably the most enthralling climax of the day, an injury time score from Paul Conroy saw Galway pip Meath by a single point. The teams’ respective goals came from Conway and Joe Sheridan.
Finally, a goal from Chris McGuinness gave Monaghan a 1-10 to 0-10 half-time lead over Louth.
However, a Darren Hughes own goal threatened to derail their hopes of victory, before Hughes compensated for his mishap by scoring a late penalty that all but confirmed his side’s win.
