Monaghan's preparations for Saturday evening's Ulster SFC semi-final at the Athletic Grounds weren't helped by a car crash involving four of their players.

Thankfully, the Ballybay Pearse brothers' contingent of Drew and Ryan Wylie, Dessie Ward and Thomas Kerr emerged unscathed from the single vehicle collision which occurred as they made their way to join up with their team-mates and board the team bus in Monaghan town.

The Wylie brothers lined out at full-back and left corner-back respectively while Ward featured as a 47th minute substitute in the shock 0-15 to 1-14 loss to the Mourne County.
