Well done to Monaghan senior Ladies on a great win away to Dublin on Saturday. Going in at the break only two points down against a strong wind they rallied in the second half. A very spirited performance from the girls sealed victory on the shoreline of Dublin 0-08 Monaghan 0-13. Well done to all concerned.
The under 14 girls continued their winning start to the year with a win against Cavan in Inniskeen on Saturday. The girls took a while to get to grips with the windy conditions and went in at the break 1-01 to 2-05 down. Scores were hard to get for the first ten minutes of the second but driven on by the impressive Leanne Maguire, Monaghan got to grips with it and won out 4-07 to 3-07 in the end.
HURLING
Carrick Emmets played Craobh Rua, Camlough on Saturday last. This was the second game of the Ulster league.
