On Saturday 18th August Monaghan U15 & U16 Development Squads particicpated in National Football Blitzes. The U15’s travelled to Ballinasloe in Co. Rosscommon to compete against Mayo, Meath & Laois. Monaghan performed very well and won all 3 games to leave them as winners of the blitz. They beat Mayo 2-07 to 3 points, Meath 2-05 to 1-05 and Laois 2-09 to 11points. This is great reward for this particular group of players & management who have been very committed and dedicated over the past 12 to 18months.
Our u16’s National blitz was held in Cloghan and they were up against Louth, Tyrone and Longford. Our U16’s were short a number of players due to holidays & injuries. They were up against Louth in the first game and were beaten 2-8 to 1-7, next up for Monaghan was Tyrone and won 1-6 to 2 points. The final game saw Monaghan take on Longford and were convincing winners in the game with a scoreline of 3-12 to 1-4.
Monaghan Coaching & Games would like to thank all the players, parents, management teams and clubs for their support towards our development squad programme.
