Donegal beat Cavan to win Division Two final

Donegal turned on the style in the second half to beat Cavan 2-7 to 0-8 in the Division Two final at St Tiernach's Park in Clones.

Playing with the wind in the first half, Cavan started well and racked up a four-point advantage by 22 minutes.

Donegal responded through Katie Dowds, who registered two points to cut the gap to 0-4 to 0-2 at half-time.

Cavan scored an early free to stretch their advantage but, with the wind behind them, Donegal got into their stride and were soon level courtesy of two converted frees from Susanne White and a point from Ciara McGarvey after a fine move.

They then went ahead when Mia Bennett palmed the ball into the net at the second attempt after an initial effort fell short.

Donegal soon opened up a four-point cushion before Dowds fired in a second goal to end Cavan's hopes of a fightback.

In the Division Three final, Louth edged past Antrim 1-10 to 1-9 with the last kick of the game in Crossmaglen.

Louth went ahead early in blustery conditions but were then punished for a slack restart by Antrim's Aoibheann Monaghan who battled past two defenders before slotting in a goal.

Antrim, who had the wind in the first half, failed to build on the goal with eight first-half wides ultimately proving costly.

The Saffrons led 1-4 to 0-6 at half-time but their slender advantage was soon wiped out by Louth.

Grace Hoey scored a looping goal in the second period before Laura Agnew was shown a black card.

Two points from Cliodhna Logan gave Antrim a brief lead but Louth hit back and extra time was on the cards before substitute Laura Lynch scored the winner for the Wee County with a last-gasp free.
