That is the question being posed by Deborah Flanagan, secretary of the Trophies Committee and one that she hopes to get sorted out. The Maguire Cup was originally presented for the minor football league and was replaced by the Fergal Shannon Cup in 2000. The Maguire Cup was last played for in 1999 when it was won by Scotstown but its whereabouts remain a mystery as it was not returned to the county committee. "It is a very important cup and one that was held in high esteem by the county committee as part of its Treasury of Trophies" Deborah Flanagan told the Northern Standard, "so we are anxious to get the cup back so that it can go on display when we have those facilities available at Cloghan to display all our trophies. The Maguire Cup is part of the history of the GAA in Monaghan and it is important that it is returned to the county committee. Someone knows where it is and I would appeal to them to arrange to return it or to let us know what has happened to it". CLUB PLANNING DAY. This Saturday, June 27th the clubs of Monaghan will gather in plenary session in the Hill Grove Hotel for a meeting discussions, the outcome of which will form a central part for compiling a Strategic Development Plan for the GAA in Monaghan that will cover the next five to 10 years. As part of the process of compiling a development plan for the county the clubs have already completed questionnaires which have been forwarded to Ryan Feeney of the Ulster Council who is the person who oversees the compiling of the Strategic Development Plans for the counties in the province. The information from the questionnaires along with a number of other topics that are central to any development plan will be put on the agenda to be discussed by the groups that will be formed to tease out information on the various elements of the Strategic Development plan so that it will in effect be the way forward for the GAA in the county for most of the next decade. There is already a Strategic Plan in place at national level, (The GAA, Strategic Vision and Action Plan, 2009 to 2015), and the Ulster Council has also implemented its vision for the future. The Monaghan plan in essence will mirror those two plans and the elements that go to make them up, such as governance, coaching & games development, infrastructure, culture and heritage, community development as well as sections on hurling, handball and ladies football. All club chairmen, secretaries and county committee delegates have been invited and are expected to attend as well as representatives of the primary, and post primary schools along with handball, camogie and ladies football. Proceedings get under way with registration at 10 a.m. after which the discussion groups will be set up and following the reports from the discussion groups in a plenary session the conference will end with lunch at 1:30 p.m..
