Crossmaglen look as invincible as ever in the Armagh SFC after dishing out a 31-point drubbing to Tir na nOg at the Athletic Grounds last night.

This second round encounter was a complete mismatch with goals from Mel Boyce, Patrick McEnteggart and Tony Kernan helping the long-time kingpins to a 3-10 to 0-6 half-time lead. There was no respite for the Garvaghy Road men in the second half as Cross' tagged on another 3-11 to rack up an emphatic 6-21 to 0-8 win.

In the other round two ties, Maghery - who were without county star Aidan Forker - were made work hard for their 0-12 to 0-7 victory over Wolfe Tones, while an early goal from full back Sean Connell paved the way for St. Pat's, Cullyhanna's 1-15 to 1-9 win over Sarsfields.

In the first round qualifiers, Pearse Og accounted for Madden by 3-16 to 3-9, while Dromintee ended Annaghmore's campaign with a 0-15 to 0-11 win.
