DONAGHMOYNE AND INNISKEEN FLY THE FLAG FOR MONAGHAN IN THIS WEEKEND’S ULSTER CLUB SEMI FINALS

This weekend sees Donaghmoyne and Inniskeen fly the flag for Monaghan in Ulster. First up are Inniskeen who play Cloughaneely on Saturday at 3pm. This is a home game for the Inniskeen girls. Their last game against the Fermanagh champions was a closely fought contest, with Fiona Callan saving a penalty in the dying minutes of the game. If Inniskeen play to their potential, they will be hard to beat.

On Sunday, Donaghmoyne travel to Lurgan to take on Armagh champions Clann Eireann. Donaghmoyne had a comfortable win over the Antrim champions in the last round, whereas Clann Eireann had to go to extra time to overcome Tyrone champions St Macartans. Both sides have met on a number of occasions before in Ulster, with Clann Eireann pushing Donaghmoyne very close. But like Inniskeen, if Donaghmoyne play to their full potential they will prove very difficult  to beat.

On behalf of the county board, we wish both teams the very best of luck.

U16 League final replay      –       D1- 15 aside

Donaghmoyne   8-6     Scotstown     2-3

When the sides finished  all square in the final played back in September, it was set for anybody’s game in the replay, indeed the sides could not be separated in the first half of the replay, with both teams scoring 2-3 in the opening half, as the second half emerged Donaghmoyne’s management made some positional changes in the middle of the park while also  introducing sub Michaela Mc Skeane, this made a big difference to the game, Donaghmoyne now controlled the centre of the field  with Niamh Callan making surging runs from the back through the middle taking the game to Sotstown, she also had great help from Aine Mc Elroy, Chloe Woods and Roisin Finnegan while at the back Sinead Murray controlled the centre with help from Amy Finn and Michaela Mc Skeane, Scotstown continued to advance with Laura Carey and Casey Treanor trying hard but in the end Donaghmoyne ran out winners and their JT Captains Megan Mc Geough and Alanah McElroy collecting the Monaghan Electric Cup from Alice Mc Mahon Co Board

Donaghmoyne: Niamh Markey, Amy Finn, Alanah Mc Elroy, Cathy Deery, Siobhan Keenan, Sinead Murray, Nicole Keenan, Aine Mc Elroy, Roisin Finnegan, Ellen Tibby, Niamh Callan, Laura Mc Mahon, Rosemary Courtney, Chloe Woods, Megan Mc Geough.

DOOHAMLET WIN DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE FINAL

Doohamlet 2-5   Carrickmacross 1-6

Doohamlet finished off their year in style winning the development league final. Once again their opponents were Carrick and like other games they have played this year it was a closely fought contest. Credit to both teams who have been building their senior teams this year, and who have played some great exciting football in their finals this year. It is great to see the rewards of all the development work that has been going on in both clubs.
