Monaghan Coaching staff organised a hurling skills competition which was held in Clontibret during the Allianz Boys Hurling & Girls Football League Finals on Thursday 20th of June. In total ten schools were represented Scoil Mhuire Clontibret, St Tiarnach`s Clones, Deravoy , Scoil Rois, St Josephs Carrickmacross, Mullaghrafferty, Edenmore, Annyalla, Blackstaff and Corduff. Each school had two representatives and all players received a quick touch sliothar for taking part.
In what turned out to be a very close contest and the skill levels on show was very high by all that took part. Kilian Woods from Edenmore (Truagh) was the winner with a very impressive score of 80 out of 90. Second and third had to be separated by time as actually 7 players ended up on 70 points. With only 700 hundreds of a second between them Ryan Mc Nulty came second and in third was Brendan Mc Cully. Killian received a Monaghan jersey and a hurley. Ryan received a Monaghan tee shirt and a hurley. Brendan received a Monaghan hat and a hurley.
Monaghan Coaching and Games Development & Staff would like to thank all the schools and children who took part and also Clontibret for the use of their facilities. As this concludes our programmes in Primary Schools for this school year we would like to that all the schools in Monaghan for their support throughout the year and we look for to working with you in the near future.
