The meeting in Ballymena’s Broughshane venue provided spectators with three goals before the break.

The equaliser by County Armagh featured a Dane McCullough free-kick delivery which Hutchinson was on hand to head home.

The decisive goal arrived when Anderson doubled his tally for the tournament with a simple finish following a mistake by the North Dublin side.

“We now have four points from the first two Junior section games so must be delighted with the start,” said Dean McCullough, the County Armagh SuperCupNI Association chairman. “We created more chances in the second half and then defended well late on when under pressure from North Dublin.

“It has been an encouraging return despite the players having yet to reach what we would consider the squad’s full potential.”
