Must read

In the Cavan Football Championship, Ramor United set up a final meeting with Crosserlough by defeating Gowna 2-10 to 1-11 at Breffni Park.

Ramor hit the opening four points but Gowna responded with four of their own to level and it remained tight as United led 0-8 to 0-7 at half-time.

After Gowna hit the first two scores after half-time to lead, a Gareth Mannion goal on 42 minutes put Ramor back in front at 1-8 to 0-9.

Jack Brady’s 52nd-minute major extended Ramor’s advantage to 2-9 to 0-10 and while Seanie Hartin quickly netted for Gowna to cut the margin back to the minimum, United held their nerve in a tense finish.
