Cavan 0-18 Derry 1-17: Dynamic Derry timed their run to perfection to put 14-man Cavan to the sword in a pulsating All-Ireland SFC Qualifier at a sun-kissed Kingspan Breffni Park on Saturday.

Derry made it a hat-trick of competitive wins over Cavan this year and, in the process, booked themselves a place in the last 12 of the All-Ireland SFC Qualifiers after a cracking match at Kingspan Breffni Park.

Cavan 2-13 Carlow 0-12: Hosts Cavan became one of a select group of counties to win an All-Ireland qualifier following the infamous six-day-turnaround.

David Givney's injury-time goal earned Cavan a replay in a thrilling Ulster SFC semi-final against Tyrone at Clones.

Cavan 1-11 Derry 1-12: Derry boss Damien Barton saw his flair team produce a five-star defensive display to leave hosts Cavan still pointless in the league.

Cavan 1-10 Derry 1-17: Damian Barton’s promise to get Derry taking a more attacking approach looks to be bearing some early season fruit - his newlook side producing the goods in the Athletic Grounds yesterday to reach the McKenna Cup final.

London 0-11 Cavan 2-22: Cavan’s trip to London proved more routine than expected but victory came at a price for Terry Hyland’s men.

Cavan recorded their second All-Ireland SFC qualifier win over London in three years as Gearoid McKiernan and Dara McVeety both found the net in a 2-22 to 0-11 success at Ruislip.

Monaghan are through to another Ulster football semi-final and, with either Fermanagh or Antrim awaiting them there, a third provincial final in three seasons beckons after this narrowest of wins away to Cavan in their summer opener.

Meath 0-14 Cavn 0-12: Meath took the honours against neighbours Cavan at Pairc Tailteann but the spoils were shared out elsewhere as victories for Down and Roscommon ensured top tier football for both in 2016.

Galway 0-10, Cavan 0-12:

Allianz FL Division 2 Round 2: Laois 2-6 Cavan 0-17: Neither the absence of light in their dressing room nor the malfunctioning showers could affect the good humour amongst the Cavan contingent at O’Moore Park on Saturday night.

Laois 1-07 Maynooth 0-18: NUI Maynooth eased to a convincing eight-point win over Laois in Portarlington last night.
