Cadbury Football Scholarship

Congratulations to Jack Mc Carron on being a recipient of the above scholarship in Dublin City University. Jack finished top scorer in the Monaghan Intermediate Championship last year, and was a key member of the DCU freshers team last year. He has represented Monaghan at both minor and U21 in the recent past and will be a key player at senior level for Currin, Monaghan and DCU in the future. Well done, Jack.

Monaghan GAA website.

The official Monaghan GAA website has to be one of the best GAA websites on offer at the moment. It is an easy to navigate site, full of  relevant information, great photographs and is constantly updated. It can be accessed at www.monaghangaa.ie. A new feature of this excellent  service on offer to Monaghan supporters is the Twitter account, @monaghangaa. The Mc Kenna Cup matches can be followed almost instantaneously as they are played. I have no doubt this will carry on throughout the coming year. Great credit is due to Tony, John, Seamus, Majella and all who are responsible for these new initiatives.
