When everyone is around, they have most of the things you need to make a good team. But when a group are collectively infused with the sort of belief Cavan exuded, it sometimes defies analysis. The Dublin players kept barking at each other, kept organising, kept cajoling as the Meath voices faded.

In a county like Cavan, the celebrations for last Sunday could easily have dragged on too long.
