By Niall Gartland IT would be easy to confuse Patrician High manager Dylan McEnaney for one of the players. Having graduated last year, McEnaney has returned to his old school walls in a teaching capacity, and he has also been entrusted with managing a group of talented players who are one step away from the […]
By Shaun Casey MONAGHAN will be targeting their home games in the hope of earning promotion from Division Four, says manager Arthur Hughes as they begin their campaign at home to Louth this weekend. The pair finished at the bottom of the Division 3B league table at the end of last season, with just two […]
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.

By Shaun Casey DERBY days like Saturday’s showdown are always circled in the calendar and given how last year’s championship encounter panned out, motivation certainly won’t be in short supply inside the Monaghan changing room as they prepare to face Cavan.

By Shaun Casey FOLLOWING on from their impressive victory over Middletown the first day out, Castleblayney sharpshooter Niall Garland is hoping his side can continue their winning trend against Antrim champs Carey Faughs on Sunday.

By Shaun Casey MAGHERACLOONE has been painted black and white for the last few weeks and manager Damian Feeney is hoping that the feel-good factor surrounding the club will hang around for another wee while yet. The ladies team reached the county final, after ending Donaghmoyne’s dominance on the club scene, but unfortunately for them […]
By Shaun Casey FINALS don’t come around too often for Éire Óg so boss Raymond Leonard and his team are certainly making the most of this opportunity.
