Monaghan won their second Ulster SFC title in three years when they held on in an absorbing final against Donegal in Clones on Sunday. Monaghan recovered from a slow start to lead by 0-8 to 0-4 at half-time, helped by some superb scores from Conor McManus, Karl O’Connell, Dessie Mone and Kieran Duffy. Donegal rallied in the second half, but a combination of poor finishing and some outstanding defending by Monaghan ensured that Malachy O’Rourke’s side held on to win by the narrowest of margins, keeping Donegal scoreless from play for a full hour in the process. McManus, Mone, O’Connell and Ryan Wylie were among the star men for Monaghan, who now progress to an All-Ireland quarter-final on August 8.
