Mayo win Nickey Rackard opener

In other opening round matches, Tyrone secured a victory over Sligo despite a blustery first half, while Louth fought hard to overcome Fermanagh.

Mayo's clinical performance featured impressive shooting from across the forward line, quickly establishing a lead that Armagh could not close.

The results highlight the competitive nature of the early stages of the cup.

Teams will now look to build momentum as they head into the second round of fixtures next weekend.
