Classy Cavan earn final place and promotion to the top tier
The winner-take-all duel to decide who would join Tyrone in the Allianz Division Two decider lived up to its pre-match billing with a huge crowd treated to an exciting clash played at near championship-like pace.
The winners recorded an unhealthy 14 wides on the day but Galway were shot-shy in the extreme and too laboured in their approach work to snatch the win which would have ended their long spell in the second flight. Kevin Walsh’s men had four wides in total over the 70-plus minutes, none in the first-half. Worse, they failed to muster a single meaningful attack for half an hour of that opening half.
