Ulster Senior Football Championship quarter-final: Cavan 1-13 Monaghan 0-12
Mickey Graham's Cavan systematically picked Monaghan apart throughout this cracking Ulster Championship enounter at Breffni Park.
By the time the first half ended, Cavan led by 1-8 to 0-4, and it flattered them not one bit.
Malachy O’Rourke’s side didn’t score from play until Conor McManus capitalised on a very rare bit of space off a turnover to land one from the right wing on 37 minutes.
Cavan march on to the semis.
It was almost 18 years since they’d beaten Monaghan in senior championship; 32 since they’d done so at Breffni.
Can they build on this momentous victory?
