at Kingspan Breffni Park

Cavan pulled away late on to defeat a poor Wexford side in an entertaining clash at Breffni Park.

The hosts were the better side but squandered a raft of chances, while Shane Roche's frees ensured it was always close.

Cavan were on top at midfield for long spells through Lorcan Mulvey and the excellent David Givney and Cian Mackey made hay with a quality supply of possession.

Cavan fired over the last five points to seal the win.

Interestingly, Cavan scored 0-16 from play. Referee Jimmy McKee didn't award the hosts a single free in the final third of the field over the 70 minutes.

Cavan: F Reilly, E McPhillips, T Corr, M Cahill, D Sheridan, E McGuigan, J McCutcheon, D Givney (0-3), L Mulvey, R Flanagan (0-3), G Smith (0-1, 45) , M McKeever (0-1), C Mackey (0-4), M Brennan, M Lyng

Subs: R Cullivan (0-2) for M Brennan, C Galligan for L Mulvey, M Reilly (0-2) for G Smith

Wexford: A Masterson, J Wadding, D Walsh, N Murphy, B Malone, D Murphy, A Doyle, E Bradley, 0-1 D Watters, C Byrne, R Barry, A Flynn, C Lyng, P Naughter (0-2), S Roche (0-9, 6 frees)
