Congratulations

To the men of 5th Class in St Tiernachs Primary School in Clones who represented themselves brilliantly at half time in the Monaghan vs Down game last Sunday in Clones. The lads were awarded the opportunity as they recently won a schools competition. The future of Clones GFC looks very bright indeed as the boys acquitted themselves excellently. They made their School, Club and families very proud. Well done also to Adrian Alford their coach and Club/School Liaison officer who has done an excellent job with these lads.

Well Done

To the Monaghan Senior team who had a hard fought victory over Down on Sunday last. In difficult conditions Monaghan showed a lot of guts combined with a great deal of skill to overcome the Mourne Men. They now have a 3 week break until they play Dublin in Croke Park on the 27th of February.

Senior Team

Training continues on Friday evening at 8 o’clock. All welcome.
