Cavan’s power outs Donegal

CAVAN football received a timely pick-me-up at Brewster Park in Enniskillen when their U21s booked a place in the provincial decider for the second successive year.

Cavan’s play was more fluid and direct in the first half and they weren’t flattered by their 0-6 to 1-1 interval lead against the side that beat them in the 2010 final.

Donegal captain Mark McHugh notched the opening point with a seventh minute free but it was another 17 minutes before the Tír Chonaill side added to their tally.
