Cavan manager Mickey Graham has welcomed the Tailteann Cup reprieve handed to them as Ulster champions and claimed that rerouting them to a tier two competition next year would have damaged the Championship's credibility.

The GAA confirmed on Monday that the eligibility criteria for next year's inaugural Tailteann Cup campaign have changed with the 2020 provincial winners now exempt from that competition.
