Cavan boss Mickey Graham admitted his Ulster champions got a “reality check” in suffering a surprise 0-15 to 0-14 opening round league defeat at Brewster Park.

A Fermanagh team shorn of many established players this year fully deserved to come out on top in Saturday night’s Division Three North game with Graham accepting the hungrier side won.
