Poor shot selection cost NC at the end. Player went for glory when it was not on and St Eunans took full advantage when the ball dropped short with the winning score. Small margins but this is what gets teams over the line.

'The North Monaghan Derby' was won by the team that picks from 50% of North Monaghan, while the other 50% is split between Truagh/Emyvale/Tyholland. Who would have thought?!
Scotstown bench/not used at the weekend:
Jack McCarron (County Senior)
Gavin McPhillips (County Senior)
Cian Mohan (Ex County Senior)
Mark McPhillips (Started for county u20s a couple of years ago)
Sean Treanor (Started for Monaghan u20s a few years ago)
Michael Meehan (Started for Monaghan u20s in Ulster Final)
Sean Og McElwain (County u20 and All Ireland Minor All Star)
Caolan Foy (County u20)
Finlay Foy (County u20)
Conal Gallagher (County u20)
Nicky Sherlock (County u20)
Francis Maguire (Former county u21)
Jason Carey (Club POTY 2024)
If you're a senior club player in the county, you have to ask yourself, what is the point of training all year? We can say it's not about numbers but the reality is, when you have 25+ in their last year at every age group, you're going to get 3 good senior footballers out of it every year regardless of how good your coaching structures are. That, combined with it being one ginormous rural area with no other sports (unless you count the 15 lads that play for Killylough in the soccer). The only other clubs in the county that can half compete in terms of numbers are our town teams, all of which field competitive hurling teams and have senior soccer teams also, as well as dealing with all of the other distractions that come along with being a town.
They won it last year without McCarthy and O'Toole starting the final, and this year they won it without McCurrin / McPhillips starting the final. It's getting laughable.

Replying To greyhound: "Some great news stories in Wicklow this week
Well done to the tailteann cups team of the year winners and well done to An Tochar too
A point that won't be made on here by the experts is well done to the underage coaches who helped both sides in their success
Obviously well done to An Tochar internally on raring such a fine footballing side but also well done to the garden county academy and the Wicklow underage set ups.
Tochar providing players to the county the past decade has benefited both themselves and Wicklow. A great template
Someone pointed out to me too that that the tailteann team was full of players who came through the academy too
The keyboard warriors will be sick" Here here
Well done to all the underage coaches. Have helped to build some fine players that we are all enjoying
Some "experts" on here talking about winning at underage
Alas that is why they are on forums and not on football fields

Rushie was some player when he was in his prime.

Big congratulation to An Tochar. They have emphatically answered the questions many of us on here posed over the last two years on their ability to get the job done on the big day. Not only did they do it, but they done it with a swagger. I hope they show up well now in the Leinster Championship.
In my playing days ,I always found An Tochar to be a progressive club- great facilities long before other clubs caught up - Clubhouse, Bar, Floodlights etc. They also played a running and handpassing brand of football long before that became the norm.
Separately, I echo the comments on managerial/coaching appointments and why certain names are always in the frame for jobs when they have had zero track record of success.

Replying To Highball_Lowball: "Do Joseph's go up Intermediate automatically as downs are a second team? Im assuming Joseph's will be our representative in Leinster either way..." The Downs second team would go up to intermediate if they win, as their first team plays in the senior championship there would be no collision to prevent them from going up. St Joseph's are already confirmed as the Westmeath reps in the Leinster Junior football championship and will play the winners of Curraha (Meath) and Ballymore (Longford) in the quarter final. Ballymore actually lost their junior final but Clonguish B beat them so can't go on and represent in Leinster.

That most of the current players came thru academies shouldn't be a surprise given they must be up and running 10-15 years at this stage - if we weren't getting them via academies then be something very wrong and I very much echo the sentiment around county management teams especially the 20's.

Second teams can't play in Leinster but they can play in Intermediate in Westmeath so The Downs could win Junior 1 and not play in Leinster but still play Intermediate level in 2027
