Just as there had been a couple of hours earlier in Páirc Uí Chaoimh when Tipperary defeated Cork to win the Munster title, there were euphoric celebations at the Athletic Grounds on Sunday evening.
Cavan ended a 23-year wait for an Ulster title with an upset victory over reigning champions Donegal.
Sportsfile were there to capture some magic moments for the Cavan players and backroom team.
