Down netted four goals as they returned to winning ways against Limerick in Sunday's Division Three match at Newry.

Aidan Carr drilled in a penalty after Benny Coulter had been upended by John Galvin in the 18th minute.

Coulter then squared the ball to set up Daniel Hughes for the second goal while corner-forward John Clarke netted twice in the second half.

Limerick ended with 14 men as Thomas Cahill was shown a straight red card following a clash with Jack Lynch.
