Hyland believes battling Breffni deserve title

CAVAN manager Terry Hyland believes his team’s remarkable Cadbury’s All-Ireland U21 FC campaign “deserves” to be rewarded with a maiden title.

The Breffni boys battled exhaustion on Saturday evening as they saw off Wexford in the semi-final at Parnell Park — just three days after overcoming Ulster final opponents Tyrone.

Fatigue was evident as they made schoolboy errors and gifted possession to Wexford time and again, particularly around their own half-back line, in the early stages.
