All Ireland Semi Final
Another great day for Monaghan football in Croke Park on Saturday last with a heart stopping but sweet victory over near neighbours Armagh. Well done to Vinny, Marty, and the whole squad especially our representatives Conor Boyle and Killian Lavelle who started and Conor McManus who came on and helped turn things around with a magnificent display of shooting, and Francis Hughes and Darren McDonnell who were on standby.
All Ireland Minor Final
Best wished to Nathan Coyle and the Monaghan minors who face Derry in the All-Ireland final in Armagh on Sunday 9th July at 1pm. Remember tickets must be purchased in advance, so get your ticket and come along to support the boys on this historic occasion.
Player of the Week
Major congratulations to Conor McManus who was voted Player of the Week following his stunning display in the All-Ireland quarter final against Armagh on Saturday. Conor came on in the fortieth minute and scored four points including winning and scoring the crucial equaliser to send the game to penalties. He then led the penalty shoot out scoring one to left and one to the right to help seal a memorable victory and send us to an All-Ireland semi-final on Saturday week against Dublin. Well done Conor.
