Cavan curb Browne threat for easy win

Tipperary 0-05 Cavan 1-10

Apart from a brief spell early in the second half when they scored three points without reply and wasted two goal chances, Tipperary played second fiddle for most of this disappointing tie, which drew an attendance of only 300 spectators.

Tipperary were far too reliant on Declan Browne for scores and Cavan clearly saw him as the main danger by giving corner back Michael Hannon a man-marking brief from the first whistle.
