No fairytale finish but Mickey Graham's Cavan depart with heads held high

Thomas Galligan of Cavan is tackled by Philip McMahon of Dublin during Saturday's All-Ireland SFC semi-final

It'll be two years on Wednesday since Mickey Graham managed Mullinalaghta, the smallest club in Longford, to victory over Kilmacud Crokes, one of the biggest in Dublin.

It was a similar longshot for the Cavan manager on Saturday and this time the odds were spot on, a 15-point Cavan defeat just about what the bookies predicted.
