Mickey Graham felt his side deserved their bit of luck against Down on Sunday, stressing it’s usually the top teams who get the big decisions while the likes of his Cavan team tend to be a bit naive.

Graham’s Cavan were 10 points down at a stage, only to stage a dramatic comeback and end up winners on a 1-14 to 1-13 scoreline at the Athletic Grounds, with a Martin Reilly penalty a vital constituent of the comeback – a decision described as Down manager Paddy Tally as “controversial”.
