GAA round-up: Kerry return to winning ways, Mayo make easy work of Tyrone
It was another busy start to the weekend in the Allianz National Hurling and Football Leagues with 11 fixtures across the two competitions.
In the Football, the two Division 1 games provided the day's highlights as Kerry welcomed Armagh to Austin Stack Park in Tralee and Tyrone travelled to Castlebar to face Mayo.
Tralee saw a nip-and-tuck game, with the Kingdom ultimately doing just enough to win 0-12 to 0-11, getting back to winning ways after last weekend's loss to Mayo.
In the later game, Mayo had a much more comfortable win, seeing off Tyrone 4-10 to 0-12.
