Cavan overcame Antrim by 1-15 to 2-06 in this Ulster Championship replay at Casement Park to set up a semi-final meeting with Tyrone.

Cavan started the better and points from Finbar Reilly and Larry Reilly helped them into a three point lead after 15 minutes.

Antrim centre forward Paul Doherty then restored parity with a splendid goal after 22 minutes.

Four unanswered points from Jason Reilly (2), Dermot McCabe and Pearse McKenna meant Cavan lead by 0-8 to 1-1 at the break.

O'Reilly and Doherty bagged goals in the second half but Cavan never looked like surrendering their advantage.
