U14 Football development Squad
On Monday 28th of October the Monaghan U14 development squad traveled to Stamullen in County Meath to take part in a Leinster blitz. Two different squads took part in the blitz and played against the following teams: Meath, Kildare, Westmeath and Louth. The boys acquitted themselves very well over all their games winning four out of the six games they played. All games were close and competitive and you could see the players improving with every game. A total of 24 clubs were represented on the day.
On Saturday the 2nd of November the team traveled to Sligo to take part in a three team blitz against Sligo and Donegal. Again each team had two teams taking part in the blitz. First up Monaghan played Donegal with both teams winning their games convincingly. The second and final games saw Monaghan play the hosts Sligo. Team one competed very well in a closely fought game and emerged victorious, while team two`s game was called off due to adverse weather conditions.
To date this groups of players have shown excellent commitment and potential. We would like to thank them for their commitment, support and attendance at the blitzes. Plans are in place to introduce these lads to a Strength and Conditioning / Running programme over the winter months.
