Madden and McKiernan ensure Cavan make a point

Monaghan 0-7 Cavan 0-7

It was typical February fare — freezing and low-scoring — with no score, but plenty of endeavour in a frantic final 15 minutes, as the clock ticked down and the tempo, belatedly, heated up.

The key stats in a forgettable first half were as follows: 18 frees (10 to the hosts), six points (three apiece) and, for Cavan, six wides and seven shots dropped short. Oh and the excitement? Zero.
