Elsewhere in the competition, Carlow overcame Laois in Portlaoise today by 2-23 to 1-18.

The visitors pulled away after the break, however, and gained an eight-point victory ultimately.
Meanwhile, in the Dr McKenna Cup Section B Round 1, Armagh thrashed St Mary’s University College 6-17 to 1-7 in Crossmaglen.
The game was effectively over by half-time, as the home team surged into a comprehensive 24-point lead (5-12 to 0-3).
Jack Grugan (2), Jason Duffy, Ryan McShane, Stefan Campbell and Connaire Mackin got the goals amid an easy victory for Armagh, while Ryan Coleman found the net with a second-half consolation for their opponents.
