Cavan and Roscommon both secured Allianz Hurling League promotion in very different styles on Saturday afternoon. Cavan scraping over the line against Leitrim in Abbotstown in the Division 3B final, while Roscommon had things all their own way in Navan as they eased to a 2-17 to 0-15 win over Armagh in the 3A decider.

It wasn’t the 20-point hammering that Armagh endured when the two sides met in the Hyde three weeks ago, but they were put on the back foot from the early stages of this tie, as a goal from Conor Mulry and two outstanding points from Mickey Joe Egan gave the Connacht county a flying start with the aid of the breeze.
