The New York team celebrate after the historic win at GAA HQ
New York only returned to hurling's fifth tier last weekend, beating Monaghan at the semi-final stage, having not previously played in a Championship since 2006.
Former Galway star Jonathan Glynn struck 0-2, the same as he did against Monaghan, and lifted the cup as captain, roaring 'New York abu' from the steps of the Hogan Stand.
The goals were the difference on the day and left Cavan with a mountain to climb after falling 11 points down early in the second-half.
The Breffni took consolation from a strong finish with two final quarter goals themselves to push New York all the way.

Richie Hartnett's Exiles led by 3-11 to 0-13 at half-time having opened up with some terrific hurling at times.
Glynn was the big draw and while he wore number 10, the big attacker started at full-forward, pinching a 14th minute point.
But it was a huge team performance overall with Adam Loughlin Stones and Galway native Mangan combining time after time.
They struck eight first-half points between them while O'Connor, Willis and Walsh swooped for the goals.

History made by Waterford while there's huge wins for Cork, Limerick and Galway as end of Camogie groups approaches
GOALS from Amy O'Connor, Katrina Mackey and Clodagh Finn helped CORK secure a comprehensive away win over TIPPERARY. The All-Ireland champions continue to cast a long shadow over the rest of the Group 1 field, with the visitors scoring all three goals in the first ten minutes of Saturday's round-robin clash at The Ragg. 2 Katrina Mackey is no stranger to the back of the net 2 Great result for Galway and Caoimhe Kelly That set them up for a comfortable afternoon, with O'Connor going on to score 1-13, 1-5 of it from play, in a 3-21 to 1-9 hammering. Player of the match O'Connor said: 'It was a very good performance. We started well and set our stall out early. 'There will be a couple of things for us to work on, particularly in terms of how we set up for the puckouts and our efficiency in the second half, but overall we can be happy. 'Our full-forward line at the moment, you have seven or eight players and any of the seven or eight could play. Read more on Camogie "When people are coming on and performing as well as Kate Wall and Ciara O'Sullivan did there, it's great to see Sorcha McCartan back, everyone's under pressure all the time. If you don't perform, you won't play.' In Owenbeg, meanwhile, GALWAY hammered DERRY 4-25 to 0-5 in a Group 2 game thanks to goals from Mairéad Dillon, Aoife Donohue, Sabine Rabbitte and Caoimhe Kelly. The Tribes' manager Cathal Murray said: 'We had a really good spread of scorers. We had a good performance, and we're very happy to have two wins out of two and be out to a good start in the group. "We got a lot out of the game, we've a two-week break now before the Kilkenny game which is shaping up to be a massive match after their result. They'll be fired up and eager to bounce back.' Most read in GAA Hurling The departure of manager Jerry Wallace at the end of the Very League and the subsequent postponement of their Munster final against Cork in the lead-up to the historic Special Congress decision to allow camogie players the choice between wearing shorts or skorts had WATERFORD in the spotlight without ever pucking a ball. On Saturday, however, they were the story of the second weekend in the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Championship for all the right reasons. RTE pundit Joe Canning urges GAA to make huge change for Leinster hurling final as fans 'totally agree' Thanks to a strong finish, the Déise recorded their first-ever Championship win over KILKENNY — and their first win over them in ten attempts in any competition since returning to senior a decade ago — on a 0-17 to 0-10 scoreline in front of a large crowd at Nowlan Park. Waterford's Niamh Rockett, who scored nine points, told 'We were bullied against Kilkenny in the league. They were standing over us, really loud and really going for it from the get-go.' Mick Boland, who stepped in to replace Wallace, said: 'Any management changeover in mid-season is difficult. But the thing about it is, most of the management were in there before, so there was continuity, there was no real change. 'After Jerry stepped back, the girls pushed us to take over, and it was seamless. We targeted this match at the start of the year, and the result was unbelievable, the performance was very good. "There were patches there in the second half where we lost our way, but we pulled it back and got the tide going our way again. 'We missed a lot of opportunities, our conversion rate, especially when it came to goals, was poor. We probably left four goals behind us and on bigger days you won't win those matches.' HEATING UP Another local derby will be the focus of the fixture list in round three, with CLARE to host LIMERICK in Group 1. After Clare had beaten WEXFORD in the first round, Limerick followed up with a 1-10 to 0-10 win against the Models in Rathkeale on Saturday. While that result leaves Wexford's hopes of securing a knockout place hanging by a thread, the winner of next Saturday's fixture in Ennis will be all but assured of a quarter-final berth at least. Limerick manager Joe Quaid said: 'Next weekend is basically a preliminary quarter-final. 'Whoever wins goes through so the stakes don't get much higher. We suffered a terrible defeat last week against Cork but maybe we took our eye off the ball as well. 'We were never going to beat Cork but since the draw, this is the game we've been focusing on for the past six months. 'We knew we had to win, we didn't care if we won ugly or great. The work-rate out of those girls was just phenomenal, talk about having each other's backs. 'Ciara O'Riordan got a block in late on with her back, they died for each other on the pitch and they are a great bunch. 'We've 15 new girls on the panel this year and for them to achieve that is unreal. 'They train every bit as hard and give as much commitment as the Limerick senior hurlers and a day like today, in front of their supporters, is just fantastic. They got to show the people of Limerick what kind of characters they are.'

Sean Cavanagh takes cheeky dig at Jim McGuinness and Donegal
Sean Cavanagh took a cheeky dig at Jim McGuinness and Donegal over the weekend. McGuinness' men moved to the top of Group 1 in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship following a 3-26 to 1-13 victory over Cavan away from home on Sunday. However, all four teams in the group are level on two points and it's all to play for in the final round of games. Down also went top of Group 3 on Saturday as they ran out winners by 0-25 to 0-24 against Louth and it was in praising the Mourne Men that Cavanagh took aim at McGuinness and Donegal. The Tyrone legend told RTE: "You mention tradition there. The last ten years really, since you boys (Donegal) ruined it for everyone and played your defensive football, it's been hard to watch. "At times Down have been hard to watch. I sat and talked with a microphone that it doesn't suit the culture of Down football. I grew up in the early 90s watching the Down attacking teams, there was the Down in the 60s, they were all built on brilliant attacking football. "Now that the game has moved back towards that style of attacking football, they seem to be playing better. It suits them as a county." Meanwhile, McGuinness said a duty of care to his players led to his sideline row with Cavan boss Raymond Galligan. "We weren't happy with some of the things that were going on, on the pitch," he stated. "We had two transitional moments and both of them were stopped for head injuries, so we were getting annoyed with that. "We had [referee] Sean Hurson on the sideline in the second-half and you can have a really good conversation with him. In the first half we weren't happy with a lot of the things that were going on and we were bringing it to attention, but we were being blanked. "So sometimes you have to deal with it yourself and that's what we did. This is football and these things do happen. "My duty of care is to my players and if I feel my players are being taken advantage of in any way or not getting a fair shake in any way, then it's up to me to do something about it and deal with that. That's what I did."

‘I wasn't happy' – Jim McGuinness explains what prompted touchline row with Cavan boss Galligan after being ‘blanked'
JIM McGUINNESS detailed the source for his touchline dust-up with Cavan counterpart Raymond Galligan was being "blanked" by the officials beforehand. The Ulster champions eased past their provincial foes 2 McGuiness' side eased to victory at Breffni Park by 3-26 to 1-13 2 Cavan's former goalkeeper-turned-manager and McGuinness were both shown yellow cards over the flare-up But it wasn't all plain sailing for McGuinness as on the cusp of half-time he was shown a yellow card for his part in a heated row with Cavan boss Galligan. In that instance McGuinness' complaint centred on Breffni ace Dara McVeety supposedly going down with a phoney injury in the hope that play would be stopped whilst Donegal were on the counter. Galligan took issue with that insinuation which led to both men turning on each other. Post-match, the 2012 All-Ireland winner was asked by RTE's Darren Frehill to detail what exactly had gone on between them. Read More On GAA His answer conveyed his anger hadn't subsided a great deal as he sarcastically fired back: "How long have you got Darren?!! We weren't happy with some of the things that were going on, on the pitch. "We had two transitional moments and both of them were stopped for head injuries, so we were getting annoyed with that. "We had [referee] Sean Hurson on the sideline in the second-half and you can have a really good conversation with him.

That's what I did." Tipperary GAA star 'had to do live apology on RTE' the day after cursing during All-Ireland interview - Donegal That is provided they beat Mayo and the Red Hands fail to defeat Cavan. And they can take positives from their win over the hosts at Kingspan Breffni Park. McGuinness believes their finish to the first half was the winning of the game. An unanswered 1-4 — with a goal from Finbarr Roarty — set the tone and gave them a seven-point lead before they ran riot in the second half. But the Naomh Conaill clubman emphasized: 'These games are never over anyway.' Donegal led 1-12 to 1-5 at the interval. And they added further goals in the second period from Inishowen pair Conor O'Donnell — who scored 1-4 — and Caolan McColgan. Their talisman Michael Murphy was taken off midway through the second half and earned a standing ovation having scored seven points. Shane O'Donnell was named man of the match. McGuinness added: 'You know, it petered out there. That was very unusual considering Cavan had the wind during the second half. 'We were expecting that the battle that started in the first half would continue on into the second half longer. 'But they did very well to get the goal just on the stroke of half time. That settled everybody and allowed us to play the football that we want to play. 'There was lots of running in them in the second half. We made good decisions, people stretched the game and we got a lot of scores on the board.' ALL TO PLAY FOR Donegal had been beaten 2-17 to 0-20 by Tyrone in their opening encounter. But now every side has won one and lost one game each. And that means all four sides have a shot at progression in a fortnight in the group finale. McGuinness — who was delighted with how his side have improved from their opening day loss — added: 'There was a very tough battle there for a long time. 'But, you know, they responded really well to everything that was fired at them. 'We found that rhythm that we were looking for last week that was not there. We had too many unforced errors and we, you know, made some bad decisions. 'We are very happy, first and foremost, to get points on the board. It was a very, very important game for us from that point of view. 'Everybody's on two points now. And we'll see how it goes for us in the next game.'
