Cavan and Mayo masters will meet again on Saturday in Ballinagh

Cavan will have home advantage All-Ireland Masters football final replay this Saturday when they take on Mayo in Ballinagh (throw-in 2.15pm).

The Breffni veterans played out an enthralling draw (1-16 to 0-19) with their Western counterparts three weeks ago in Galway and the hope for Jimmy Galligan's side is that they'll get the job done the second time round on home turf.

The Blues had some splendid performances from Raphael Rogers (Knockbride) and Christy Sheils (Mullahoran) last time out team selector Kevin Madden is anticipating another tight battles between the two teams this weekend.

"It will be a 50-50 game again on Saturday, there's nothing between four or five teams at the top of the Masters competition and I think there'll probably only be a point or two in it again this week," Madden told The Anglo-Celt.
