Mayo 0-20
Armagh 1-14

Armagh's long wait for a first ever win in the Christy Ring Cup goes on after they succumbed to Mayo at Elvery's MacHale Park.

The home side claimed a deserved three-point victory after leading for most of the game. With Kenny Feeney and Sean Regan to the fore, they led by 0-5 to 0-3 after 15 minutes, but an Armagh goal 10 minutes later had the Ulster side ahead, 1-5 to 0-7.

However, Mayo responded to lead by 0-11 to 1-5 at the break and they managed to keep their opponents at arm's length throughout the second half, despite the best efforts of Armagh's chief marksman Declan Coulter.
