MONAGHAN may be once bitten, twice shy heading into Saturday’s Round 4B Qualifier against Down at Croke Park – but Mourne county legend Benny Coulter believes that Eamonn Burns’s side can upset the odds once again. The Oriel county were heavy favourites when the teams clashed in the Ulster semi-final last month but lost out […]
KEVIN McKernan has been cleared to play against Monaghan in next Saturday’s Round 4B qualifier after his black card picked up in the Ulster final against Tyrone was rescinded last night. The Burren clubman was black carded in the 41st minute by referee Joe McQuillan following an off-the-ball incident with Sean Cavanagh. That was […]

The Oriel defender has not been involved since breaking his wrist in Monaghan’s McKenna Cup clash with Derry in January but he made his club return with Clontibret last […]
Monaghan’s Conor McCarthy gives us an insight into the characters on the Oriel county team.
HIGH-FLYING Donegal have rocketed up the charts in Division One and as an explanation Hugh McFadden says they have worked hard on improving their attacking threat.

DREW Wylie believes poise in the face of pressure could make the difference in the latest installment of the Monaghan-Cavan rivalry.
