Mickey Harte’s Derry continued their disappointing Championship with a defeat to Galway in their opening group game the weekend before last while Ulster runners-up Armagh got things back on track with a win over Westmeath in their group opener last weekend. We’ve a report on those matches below along with pieces from Frank Roche, Dick Clerkin and Pat Spillane on what’s been a damp squib of a Championship so far.
