Cavan edge out Roscommon in the Hyde

It was a game that had a championship feel as the atmosphere built before throw-in at Dr. Hyde Park.

There has been very little between the sides in recent years and this most recent fixture was no different.

Roscommon started the better side. Enda Smith, Cian McKeon, Ultan Harney, and a two-pointer from Conor Cox giving them daylight inside the opening 10 minutes.
