RORY BEGGAN KICKED three two-pointers — one from play and two from frees — as Monaghan opened their Allianz Football League Division 2 campaign with an eight-point win over Cavan.

Conor McCarthy converted a third-minute penalty, and David Garland scored in the second half, as Monaghan ran out winners by 2-22 to 0-20.

In Division 3, Kildare started life under Brian Flanagan with a double-scores win against Fermanagh, second-half goals from Darragh Kirwan and Ryan Sinkey helping them to a 2-24 to 1-12 win.

The Division 3 tie between Leitrim and Laois was postponed due to electrical issues caused by the storm in Ballinamore, where the match was due to be held. It has been refixed for tomorrow afternoon at the same venue in Sean O’Heslin Park at 2pm.

Meanwhile, in Division 4, Paddy McDonnell missed a chance to take the points for Carlow as he dropped a late free short in their 2-13 to 1-16 draw with Tipperary, while Wexford eased to an 18-point win over London.

Marty Kavanagh was the hero for Carlow in Division 1B of the hurling league as his late pointed free forced a 1-16 to 0-19 draw against Offaly.

There were wins in Division 2 for Down, Meath and Derry, while in Division 4, there were wins for Louth, Longford and Leitrim.
