Kevin McStay hails Roscommon’s never-say-die attitude against Cavan

Roscommon 0-15 - Cavan 0-13: Kevin McStay hailed his side’s never-say-die attitude as a late rally, inspired by Ciaráin Murtagh, yielded a precious win against previously unbeaten Cavan.

Sub Seánie Johnston’s 61st minute point secured a 0-13 to 0-12 lead for the Breffni Blues but Murtagh kicked three late scores to leave the Rossies on the cusp of promotion.

“This was a big match for the development of our squad. It was a proper match. It means that we’re getting a little bit better every week. There was a lot of character shown. The body language was great in the last 15 minutes when the game was in the balance. The subs that came in made an impact and I was happy with the effort,” said McStay.
