What a Weekend
Major congratulations to the Monaghan team and management on a wonderful victory in Omagh last Sunday, especially our clubmen in management Vinny and Marty Corey and players Conor McManus ( Man of the Match with nine points), Conor Boyle, Killian Lavelle, Francis Hughes and Darren McDonnell. A step on the way in the Ulster campaign with Derry coming up in the semi final on Saturday week. The weekend began in style for the senior club team also with a good away win in Magheracloone in the first game of the league playing without four of our county players.
