Clare allow young Cavan off the hook
The Banner men led by five points at half-time and two minutes into the second period were seven ahead. Yet a Cavan point from wing-back Oisin Kiernan with three minutes of normal time remaining nosed his side in front. Then Clare kicked two, through Eoin Cleary and Keelan Sexton, to regain the lead, forcing Magee to be accurate with a free kick in the dying moments.
A new-look Cavan outfit featured ten debutants and boss Mattie McGleenan was full of praise for those newcomers. “We are delighted with these young boys coming into the squad and they bring a real energy to the team this year,” he said.
