Maghery struck the net in the opening half through goals from Brendan Haveron and Brian Fox, but Oisin O’Neill’s five-point haul left Crossmaglen ahead by 0-11 to 2-3 at the interval.
Goals from Aidan Forker and Ronan Lappin left Maghery six ahead by the second water break and they powered home from there.
