Roscommon 1-11 Cavan 0-14: Allianz Football League Division 2: Roscommon manager John Evans felt opening day nerves got the better of his side as the home team were pegged back by Cavan at Kiltoom.

THE gap at the bottom of AIB Division 1A widened and Garryowen took another step closer to hitting the panic button when they slumped to their fourth defeat of the campaign at Dooradoyle on Saturday.

IF Clontarf win a first AIB League title this season, they cannot be accused of taking the easy route.
