Cavan exact a measure of Tailteann Cup revenge against Westmeath

Shortly before the latter point, Heslin bore down on the Cavan goalmouth in the 27th minute, but his low shot was deflected to safety by corner back Evan Finnegan. Ronan O’Toole opened his account in the 35th minute, but Martin Reilly rounded off the scoring with the last kick of the half, leaving Cavan ahead by 0-5 to 0-3 at the interval.

McVeery doubled his account some 70 seconds after play resumed. Sam McCartan was black-carded in the 39th minute to add to Westmeath’s woes, and they looked set for a heavy defeat when Cavan added points from Galligan and O’Neill . However, great work by sub Luke Loughlin teed up Ronan Wallace for a slapped goal in the 56th minute. Another sub Lorcan Dolan chipped in with a brace of opportunist points to leave the home team trailing by just the bare minimum with 10 minutes remaining. However, the Breffni men finished the stronger and were worthy winners.J Daly; D Scahill, K Maguire, J Gonoud; J Dolan, R Wallace , N Harte; C McCormack, A McGivney; S McCartan, R O’Toole , J Heslin ; J Lynam, R Forde, S Dempsey .
