'We'll be going all-out to reach Ulster final' - Moynagh

Paul Fitzpatrick

While Cavan will be underdogs in the Ulster semi-final against Tyrone - expected to be fixed for Clones on Sunday fortnight - Blues defender Conor Moynagh insists he and his team-mates will be going all-out for the win.

'We were naive,' the Drumgoon man said of the league final defeat.

'We looked at Tyrone, we knew what way they were going to play, they went and played it and we let them. It will be the same in three weeks and hopefully we'll have learned from our outing in Croke Park and we can take the game to them again and push it to the next level.

'It was a big pitch and it was our first time as a team playing there. There was a lot of space and I thought Tyrone compacted their defence well and then broke out very well whereas we didn't close out our defence as well, they seemed to have a lot more space up front than we did.

'We're not going to go out in any game and think we can't win it. We'll take one game at a time, we're not looking at quarter-finals or an Ulster final. All our focus is on Tyrone and that will be it for the next three weeks.'
