Monaghan Harps were crowned champions in the battle of the ‘towns’ in this intriguing clash at the beautifully appointed Blackhill on Thursday evening.
In a game sprinkled with goals throughout, the North Monaghan town ultimately finished with the greater amount.
In a keenly contested opening 10 minutes Carrickmacross started the brightest with Oran Finnegan and Oisin Maher to the fore. However, for the remainder of the first half the Harps began to take increasing control around the middle sector which enabled their forward unit to execute some wonderful scores lead by the inspirational Eoin Sheridan and Dara Mullin.
The second half continued at the blistering pace set out in the first. Despite the Emmetts matching their opponents for goals during this period. The Harps produced excellent points from the boot of Diarmuid McGinnity to ensure that the silverware would be travelling to the county town.
