Cavan produced a superb second-half performance to overhaul Fermanagh and claim the Allianz Football League Division 3 title.
In wet conditions at Croke Park, the Erne County edged a low-scoring first half 1-04 to 0-06, thanks to Darragh McGurn's well-taken 28th minute goal.
Cavan restarted with intent however, scoring five points without reply upon the restart, which included three of goalkeeper/captain Raymond Galligan's four from long-range placed balls.
Fermanagh did battle back, closing the gap to a single point at 0-11 to 1-07 on the hour mark, but Cavan powered away once more, hitting the final five scores to claim the cup in style.
Both teams will play in Division 2 next year and are in Ulster quarter-final action this month.
Fermanagh are at home to provincial holders Derry on 15 April and Cavan against Armagh or Antrim on 22 April.
