Senior Football League
Our game against Magheracloone last Friday night was called off due to their pitch being unplayable. Because of the awfull weather please check before you leave for a game to ensure that it is still on. It is hoped that no-one travelled last weekend. Our next fixtures are entirely dependant on the result of the County match on Sunday. Keep in touch with the Monaghan GAA website for definite fixtures. Also Fixtures will be posted in the village.

Currin U. 14 game v Carrick is changed from Currin and will be played in Carrickmacross on Saturday 14th July at 10.00am. Your continued support for our juveniles is appreciated.
Because of this change there will be no training for U8s or U6s this Saturday.
Training: U-14 Training takes place every Thursday from 4.15p.m. to 5.30p.m.
Results, league positions and fixtures are all on the official Monaghan website.
Ladies Football.
Monaghan ladies play Donegal in the Ulster final on Sunday 15th July at 3.00pm in Clones. What a pity that someone could not have seen that this is a direct clash with the men’s qualifier in Portlaoise. Surely a bit of sense and indeed courtesy could have been shown to those playing in both games and their supporters. Best of luck, to Ellen and Laura and all the girls.

Family Tickets will be available in Section AO and BO of the Gerry Arthurs Stand, in the Pat McGrane Stand and in the Eastern Stand. Best wishes to our Minor Footballers who deserve our support. While we have no one from this area on the panel we wish our nearest neighbour, Jake Rehill, son of the legendary Gerry, all the best. To be part of an Ulster final is a great experience.

Transport was laid on from all the local villages and was appreciated by many who did not have to drive. The entertainment was excellent, as was the food supplied. Many of the young people arrived home after 6.00am so they must have enjoyed themselves.
