Holders Armagh made it two wins from two in Division 1 of the National Football League on Sunday.
The Orchard County followed up their opening day victory over TG4 All-Ireland senior champions Kerry by getting the better of Ulster rivals Tyrone with a strong second-half performance in Lurgan to win by 0-16 to 0-5.
Tyrone started well and opened up a lead of 0-4 to 0-1 after 17 minutes but Armagh finished the half strongly and the sides were deadlocked at 0-5 apiece at the break.
Armagh then took control and dominated the game after the restart, holding Tyrone scoreless for the duration of the second-half while landing 0-11 themselves in a strong performance.
Meanwhile, there was another provincial derby on Sunday, where Leinster pair Kildare and Dublin met at Manguard Park.
And it was Kildare who secured the spoils on a 1-8 to 0-8 scoreline to get their first win of the campaign after going down to Waterford in the opening round.
The key score of the game came after ten minutes when Kildare’s Alannah Prizeman got the only goal of the match which helped them lead by 1-5 to 0-7 at the interval.
Dublin, hoping to build on their opening win over Mayo, battled back after the restart but Kildare were not to be denied.
In Division 2, promotion favourites Galway and Cork went head to head in Tuam, and it was Galway who came out on top by 2-8 to 0-12 in the battle between two sides who were relegated from the top flight last year. Leanne Coen and Róisín Leonard got the goals for Galway, while Katie Quirke landed 0-9 for Cork.
Elsewhere in the second tier on Sunday, there were victories for Roscommon and Monaghan, while Westmeath and Donegal drew.
Two goals from Aishling Hanly and one from Laura Mannion helped Roscommon on their way to a 3-13 to 0-8 win over Clare. A late Emma Morrissey goal was not enough to save Tipperary as Éabha Sherry hit the winning point for Monaghan in their 0-10 to 1-6 win.
Donegal led Westmeath by 0-4 to 0-1 at the interval but a goal from Anna Jones got Westmeath back in contention in a game which finished 1-6 to 0-9.
In Division 3, Cavan, Carlow, Louth and Wexford notched up wins, while Sligo, Leitrim and Antrim were triumphant in Division 4, as Wicklow got the better of Kilkenny on Saturday.
