Cavan's Allianz League Division 1 survival hopes received an unexpected boost this afternoon when they stunned Mayo in Castlebar.

Without a win going into the game, Mattie McGleenan's charges were full value for their victory over last year's beaten All-Ireland finalists, much to the delight of their supporters but to the dismay of their Mayo counterparts.

 

Super victory for Cavan, great performance under pressure! Nice cameo from JD aswell, super score! #AllianzLeagues #TheGreatEscape

Great show from Cavan, first Div 1 win. Gearoid McKiernan, Dara McVeety, Martin Reilly superb. Mayo looking a bit dispirited.

Mayo proving everyone right that they're the biggest bunch of bottlers in the GAA. Some win for Cavan. Delighted. #AllianzLeagues
