By Niall Gartland A STACKED Scotstown side stand in Trillick’s way of a place in the Ulster Senior Championship final, but Jody Gormley says his players are relishing the prospect of having a crack at the Monaghan titans. These two teams met back in the provincial arena back in 2015 with Scotstown prevailing in a […]
THE second weekend of Ulster Club action took place last weekend and yet again the competition came up trumps. I’ve said on many occasions that this is the best competition in the GAA calendar at the minute and, based on last weekend’s evidence, who would argue with me? We will start with the Saturday night […]
By Shaun Casey EXPERIENCE is key in the Ulster Club Championship, but it’s not necessarily an advantage this year says Scotstown boss David McCague. The An Bhoth men have dominated the Monaghan club scene over the past decade, winning eight championships in 11 years and are no strangers to the provincial scene. However, given the talent […]
By Shaun Casey FOR two teams that have dominated their respective county championships, there isn’t that much recent history between Kilcoo and Scotstown as they lock horns on Sunday (Páirc Esler, 3.15pm) for the first time since 2016. That was a preliminary round tie which the Magpies edged on their way to reaching a second […]
Kilcoo flexed their muscles on Sunday with a comprehensive win over Fermanagh kingpins Derrygonnelly to set up a mouth-watering clash with Scotstown this weekend. I expected Kilcoo to win last weekend but I thought Derrygonnelly would have put up a little bit more of a fight. From start to finish Kilcoo were extremely impressive and their […]
By Shaun Casey JACK McCarron made the telling difference for Scotstown last Sunday, kicking half a dozen points as they overcame Inniskeen by three points to reclaim the Mick Duffy Cup for the eighth time in eleven seasons – something team captain Damian McArdle was thankful for. McCarron, following in his father Ray’s footsteps by claiming championship gold […]
By Shaun Casey 77 days after locking horns in the opening round of the championship, Inniskeen and Scotstown will once again do battle on Sunday in the Senior Championship Final (Clones, 3.30pm). That day, two points were on offer at the start of the group stages, but now, the Mick Duffy Cup is the prize […]
These days don’t come around too often for Inniskeen as we reflect on the last time they reached a Monaghan SFC final all the way back in 1990. Shaun Casey reports…. NO one imagined it would take over 30 years for Inniskeen to reach another Senior Championship final, especially at half time of the 1990 […]
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 […]
