Just eight points down coming into the final quarter of the game, the All-Britain champions had managed to keep Cavan from finding the back of their net before Enda Reilly ended the game as a contest with his well-taken strike.
The Cavan U21 star was one of a number of youngsters lining out for Cavan against a Scottish side who made history in being the first team outside of Ireland or England to contest an All-Ireland Junior semi-final.
Cavan were well served by Reilly, Paul O’Connor, and Packie Leddy; all Ulster U21 medallists in recent years, while Scotland full-forward Tony Gallagher had his moments.
The Ulster team, representing Leinster in this championship due to the absence of an Ulster competition, will now face Kerry in the final. A Munster team has won the Junior All-Ireland in each of the last three years.
Cavan vs Kerry will take place in two weeks time, with further match details yet to be announced.
