Stephen McDonnell scored six points for the Orchard County as Paul McGrane gave a typically solid performance in midfield on his 60th championship appearance for Armagh.
 
Armagh's Andy Mallon was instrumental in keeping Seanie Johnston quiet but Cavan stayed in the game with points from Mark McKeever, Cian Mackey and Martin Reilly.

Johnston found his range in the second half to narrow the gap to three but McDonnell, Aaron Kernan and Kieran Toner pointed to keep Armagh ahead.
