After the match was originally postponed last week due to bad weather conditions, Donegal made no mistake to book a place in next Monday’s provincial final and they will be eyeing up a place in Saturday week’s All-Ireland semi-final against Dublin.
Second-half goals from Cian Mulligan, Michael Carroll and Caolan McGonagle sealed victory for Declan Bonner’s side, who had been in front 0-13 to 0-6 at the interval.

Donegal’s shooting was excellent with freetakers Lorcan Connor and Michael Langan hitting 0-6 and 0-3 respectively, while there was a tally of 0-4 for Stephen McBrearty, the brother of senior forward Patrick.
Donegal were dominant in the early exchanges as they went in front 0-9 to 0-3 at the close of the first quarter. They stretched that lead to 0-13 to 0-4 by the 26th minute when Lorcan Connor raised a white flag but Cavan finished the half with scores from Bryan Magee and their top scorer Caoimhin Reilly.

McGonigle notched the third goal in the 58th minute to round off an excellent night’s work from Donegal.
