By Michael McMullan CLONTIBRET minors’ 60-week journey reaches the last corner on Thursday when they lock horns with Dromintee in the Ulster Minor final at St Paul’s. Having lost just two from last year’s team, a core of players floated the idea to JP Mone, joint-manager with Shane McMahon, about getting started up with a […]
Monaghan fan Tony Keenan pays tribute following the news that Conor McManus has hung up the boots MY wife tells me I’m not much of a romantic. She’s right, but there is an exception: the Monaghan Gaelic football team. My first memory of going to an Ulster Championship match was in Castleblayney in 1992. Three drunk […]
By Shaun Casey DEFEATED Monaghan finalists Clontibret have retained the services of joint-managers Paul McCartan and Neil Coulter for the upcoming 2025 season. The Burren clubmen helped Clontibret reach their first decider since 2019, the last time they collected the Mick Duffy Cup, but they came up short against Scotstown in the end, losing by […]
By Shaun Casey IN a repeat of last year’s county final, Inniskeen are hoping to make amends 12 months on for their three-point loss at the hands of Scotstown when the two sides clash in the second of Sunday’s semi-final showdowns. David McCague’s team regained their throne, having fallen in the 2022 final, bringing their […]
By Shaun Casey CLONTIBRET have made an impressive start to the championship, securing back-to-back victories over Inniskeen and Killanny to sit at the top of Group Two after the opening two fixtures. There’s a lot of football still to be played of course, even before the knockout stages, and Clontibret face another tough test this […]
By Niall Gartland MONAGHAN camogs haven’t competed in any sort of meaningful capacity at adult level for more than a decade at this stage, but don’t rule out a comeback in the not-so-distant future. Last weekend a talented and ambitious group of Monaghan u-14s participated in the half-time parade during the All-Ireland Intermediate final, but they […]
DONAGHMOYNE will be hoping to back up their recent eye-catching victory over league leaders Scotstown when they travel to Corduff on Friday evening. An early goal from Liam McDonald helped Donaghmoyne, who are currently third in the table, establish themselves in the game and they led by the minimum of margins at the half-time break. […]
By Shaun Casey SEMI-FINALS are for winning and at St Tiernach’s Park this Sunday, four teams are 60 minutes away from securing their spot in the Monaghan SFC final. Scotstown are part of the furniture on county final day at this stage, having featured in the last ten, while Clontibret have collected the Mick Duffy Cup […]
THE Monaghan Senior Football Championship hasn’t been hugely kind to Donaghmoyne Fontenoys. Last year, their campaign began with a daunting trip to 2019 champions Clontibret. Former Sigerson player of the year Davy Garland was deployed as the sole forward, as Donaghmoyne set up a rigid 14-man defence, breaking at rapid pace to feed Garland. Conor McManus […]
By Kieran Lynch ON Saturday, Clontibret host Inniskeen in a top of the table clash in Group Two of the Monaghan Senior Football Championship, with the potential to jump above them and move into first place. However, because that game throws in at 6pm, with Donaghmoyne facing Scotstown at 3pm, Clontibret manager Mick O’Dowd believes […]
