Cavan late show holds Roscommon

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.

Donie Smith’s well-worked score seemed to have won the game for the Rossies in the 69th minute but Martin Reilly’s sweetly-struck 45 in the third minute of injury-time rescued a deserved point for the Breffni men.

In a tight first half, the goal Cavan threatening arrived in the 12th minute when Senan Kilbride unselfishly squared for Cathal Cregg to score.
