Cavan hit back for another title shot

CAVAN came from three points down in the final six minutes to salvage a draw against Westmeath in yesterday’s TG4 All-Ireland Ladies IFC final at Croke Park.

Second half goals from Johanna Maher and sub Karen Hegarty helped Westmeath to overturn a two-point half-time deficit and lead by 2-5 to 0-8 with 49 minutes remaining.

Sub Daena Clerkin hauled Cavan back into contention with a 54th minute score before a brace of frees from captain Aisling Doonan restored parity for the Breffni ladies.
