Speaking to RTÉ ahead of the game on Saturday, Cavan defender Padraig Faulkner said that many players were meant to go abroad this summer but opted to stay in an attempt to win the first ever Tailteann Cup.
"There was talk of were lads going to go abroad,
"There are a lot of lads playing football in America at the minute, but we sat down and said, 'this is something we really want to win'. And everyone stuck at it, there was no drop-off.
"It is a chance to win something and my friends think this is a great competition. It was right back to the drawing board, could be a great stepping stone for next year and we put 100% into it."
