Over the past 3 weeks (18th/25th Jan & 1st February) Games Development Officer’s Rory Beggan & Colin Malone organised a 5th class indoor league catered for 5th class boys & girls. Smaller schools could take 4th class if they wish. In total 25 Schools took part with over 44 teams participating in 2 venues, St Macartan’s College & Phoenix Centre, Carrickmacross. Please see below pictures from these events.
The Schools that took part: Monaghan BNS, Urbleshanny, Edenmore, Corcaghan, Corracrin, Rackwallace, Latnamard, St Tiarnachs Clones, Scoil Mhuire Rockcorry, Deravoy, Knockconan, Garron, Tydavnet, Mullaghrafferty, Carrick BNS, Oram NS, Annalitten, Scoil Rois, Drumgosatt, Scoil Eanna Ballybay, Scoil Mhuire Latton, Loughmourne, Lisdoonan, Gaelscoil Lorgan & Blackstaff. The skills on show and the teamwork and enthusiasm of the schools was of the highest order & bodes well for the future of Monaghan GAA.
We would like to thank St Macartans College, Monaghan & The Phoenix Centre, Carrickmacross for the use of their excellent facilities & also for hosting our Indoor League. In addition to this we would like to thank the schools for attending and making our Indoor League successful & also to the teachers & helpers who assisted their schools on the day. Your help is greatly appreciated. Finally, also a big thanks to the TY referees from St Macartans, Patrician High School & Inver College who refereed the indoor leagues over the 3 weeks.
