Armagh's Strong Start to National League Campaign

Kieran McGeeney's Armagh side got their Division One campaign off to a flying start with a convincing 1-27 to 0-18 victory over Monaghan in Clones. The Orchard County were never really threatened, with 11 different players registering scores throughout the game.

Armagh controlled the tempo of the match from the outset, taking a three-point lead without reply and extending their advantage by another three points at halftime. While Monaghan attempted to mount a second-half comeback, they were unable to get past Armagh's defense, and the home side ran out comfortable winners.

The win marks an impressive start to McGeeney's tenure as manager of the team, with his side now sitting in first place after just one round. The victory also serves as a promising indication that Armagh are capable of competing at the top level this season.

Meanwhile, Cavan suffered a disappointing defeat against Cork, squandering a seven-point lead to lose by three points in the end. Fermanagh and Antrim both fell short in their respective matches, with Wexford claiming a four-point victory over Fermanagh in Enniskillen and Carlow coming from behind to beat Antrim in Portglenone.

In other Division Three news, Wexford earned a 1-13 to 0-12 win over Fermanagh in Brewster Park. The Tir Chonaill men took an early lead and never looked back, with Gavin Sheehan scoring 24 minutes into the match to seal the victory for his side.

The results mark a mixed start to the National League campaign for many of the teams involved, but Armagh's dominant display against Monaghan bodes well for their prospects this season.
 
I don’t usually comment but I gotta say, it’s crazy how fast Armagh is flying up the table 🤯. I mean, 1-27 against Monaghan? That’s a huge win and shows they’re definitely in contention for promotion. The fact that 11 different players got scores is just nuts - Kieran McGeeney must be doing something right 😂. It’s also a bit worrying for the other teams, but hey, it’s all part of the competition right? Can’t wait to see how this season plays out 📺.
 
🤔 I'm not buying all this hype around Armagh's win just yet... 1-27 is crazy! I mean, I get that they had a strong start, but did it feel like they were really putting on a show? Did Monaghan look like the same team when their goal was conceded after 10 minutes or was it all just a bit of a fluke? 🤷‍♂️ And what about Cavan's meltdown against Cork? That's a major setback. Not sure I'm convinced that any of these teams are ready for the top tier just yet... 😒
 
omg i'm loving armadhs performance so far ! they're setting the bar high and giving us all hope that they can take it to the top 🤩. kieran mcgeeney is doing a brilliant job as manager, and his team is really starting to gel. those guys played some amazing footy out there, controlling the tempo and just clicking into gear 💪. i'm not surprised they're sitting in first place after just one round - they looked that good against monaghan 😎. of course it's only one game, but this is definitely a promising start for armagh fans 👍.
 
Wow 🤩, what a performance by Kieran McGeeney's team! I'm loving how they dominated the game from start to finish. That 1-27 score is insane 💥 and it shows they're on fire this season. I'm also really impressed with Cavan, they had that seven-point lead but just couldn't hold on. And Wexford getting a win over Fermanagh was a nice upset 😊. It's looking like this National League campaign is going to be super competitive!
 
🏆 I'm loving how Armagh is off to a strong start in the National League Campaign! 🤩 Kieran McGeeney's team played some incredible hockey out there and it's clear they're built for success. The fact that 11 different players scored throughout the game shows their depth and versatility is really impressive.

It's also great to see Armagh taking control of the tempo from the start - that shows a lot of confidence in their abilities and sets them up for future wins. And let's not forget, they're now sitting in first place after just one round! That's no small feat. 🎉 On the other hand, it's a bit concerning to see Cavan squander a seven-point lead... I guess you can't win 'em all, right? 😬
 
I'm loving the way Kieran McGeeney is getting on, he's clearly got the Armagh team playing with some real swagger 🤩. Their win over Monaghan was just a showcase of how strong they are right now. The fact that 11 different players scored for them is just insane, it's like they've got depth written all over them! And let's be real, Monaghan were never really in it, so I'm not reading too much into the scoreline... but still, a massive win and a great start to the season 💪. It'll be interesting to see how Fermanagh bounce back after that one 🤔.
 
I'm loving how strong Armagh is looking this season already 🤩! Kieran McGeeney's doing an amazing job as manager and it shows in their performance on the pitch. The fact that they were never really threatened by Monaghan's comeback attempt just proves how solid their defense is 🔒. It's awesome to see them dominating games like this, sitting at the top of Division One already after just one round! Fingers crossed they can keep up the pace and show everyone what they're capable of 💪
 
I gotta say, I'm loving Armagh's aggressive playing style right now 🤯. It's clear they're not going to hold back and are just going to go out there and play with confidence. That's the kind of mentality that can take you all the way at the top level.

Their defense is looking solid too 💪, it's hard to see Monaghan getting past them. McGeeney seems like a genius tactician, he's really got his team playing together as one unit.

The question is though, how long will they be able to keep this up? One win isn't just about luck, it takes skill and strategy too 🤔. I'm interested to see how the other teams in the league react to Armagh's style of play. Will anyone be able to match them?
 
looks like armagh are on fire 💥🔥 got to admit kieran mcgeeney is bringing some serious talent to that team 🤩 monaghan didn't stand a chance 😂 think they're gonna be strong contenders for the division one title this year ⏰
 
Looks like Armagh is off to a great start 🎉. I mean, 1-27 to 0-18 is not something you see every day! It's clear that Kieran McGeeney's got his team playing some solid football now. The fact that 11 different players scored is a good sign that they're getting contributions from all over the pitch.

It's also interesting to see how Armagh took control of the game and never really looked like giving it away. Monaghan tried to mount a comeback in the second half, but their defense was solid enough to hold them off.

Cork beating Cavan is a bit of a surprise though 😊. I mean, seven-point lead at halftime seems like a comfortable position for anyone. Guess you can't get complacent in football, no matter how well you're playing.
