National Football League Division 2: Cavan 0-16 Kildare 0-13Cavan's survival hopes received a timely shot in the arm with his battling win over Kildare at a wet, wild and wintry Breffni Park. With Louth upsetting Tyrone in the earlier game, Cavan were very much under pressure. A tricky cross-field gust and incessant rain left conditions difficult and both sides missed several straightforward chances. Cavan led thanks to Gerry Smith but a superb pass from Ben Loakman found Colm Moran, who tied the game right on the half-time hooter. But Cavan made some changes and they paid off.
