Meath beat Cavan but miss out on promotion

Meath 0-14 Cavn 0-12: Meath took the honours against neighbours Cavan at Pairc Tailteann but the spoils were shared out elsewhere as victories for Down and Roscommon ensured top tier football for both in 2016.

The Royals were the unlucky ones as they finished level on points with the Rossies but lost out on the head to head.

Here, they trailed by three points with 13 minutes left but hit five unanswered scores in a storming finish to snatch victory and quash Cavan’s promotion hopes
