Armagh scrape win over Cavan

ARMAGH 0-14 CAVAN 1-10

Cavan came within a whisker of a famous win over their Ulster rivals Armagh in the National League at Crossmaglen today.

But the Kernan brothers, Tony and Stephen, stepped in to rescue the Orchard men on their home pitch by landing seven second-half points between them.

An 18th-minute goal from Seanie Johnston, after Jason Reilly had hit the post, had Cavan leading by 1-5 to 0-3 at half-time.

Stephen McDonnell's 58th-minute penalty was superbly saved by James Reilly, however Armagh came good to secure their first win in Allianz NFL Division Two.
