Allianz Football League Division Two Final

Cavan v Roscommon, Croke Park, 2pm

Relegated at this time last year Cavan and Roscommon both did what was required in Division Two.

During the past few years they’ve been involved in some good tussles and another could be added to the list.

The 2017 Connacht Championship triumph finally saw Roscommon deliver on their vast underage potential.

Cavan recently stitched four Under 21 provincial titles together so there is no shortage of good talent.

Mattie McGleenan has found a nice blend, though, since January and Cavan’s storming finish against Tipperary suggests a lack of character isn’t an issue. There is increasing depth too, but Roscommon are a resourceful outfit also.

CAVAN: Raymond Galligan; Jason McLoughlin, Padraig Faulkner, Enda Flanagan; Martin Reilly, Ciaran Brady, Oisin Kiernan; Gearoid McKiernan, Killian Clarke; Dara McVeety, Bryan Magee, Cian Mackey; Caoimhin O'Reilly, Adrian Cole, Conor Bradley.

ROSCOMMON: James Featherston; David Murray, Peter Domican, Fergal Lennon; Conor Daly, Ultan Harney, Brian Stack; Tadhg O'Rourke, Cathal Compton; Ciarain Murtagh, Niall Kilroy, Conor Devaney; Donie Smith, Ciaran Lennon, Diarmuid Murtagh.
