I don't think thats a fair assessment. He cant score if they cant get the ball to him. Truagh controlled the ball dominated the kickouts and Cremartin couldn't get out of their defense.

Luke Hughie Mc Kenna was very impressive he was always on the ball and he was throwing himself about to not afraid to get stuck in which is a big plus.

Replying To Farneylad275849:  "Who's the top forwards in the championship so far?
1. Steven Mooney
2. James Maguire
3. Max McGinnity


Mooney hitting 9 points from play this weekend on Dylan Bryne surely makes him no 1 so far"
The best forward in the championship has been Paudie McMahon. The best player on the pitch in two of his three games. Consistently outstanding for Magheracloone. Steven Mooney and Sean Jones are probably the other two for me.

Maguire non existent against Scotstown, and Corduff also done well stopping him.

McGinnity definitely a good player but long ways to go before he's in these conversations. He's not being marked by opposition's main markers yet so it's hard to judge. Very reliable free taker though.

Luke Hughie is a classy footballer and a gentleman off the pitch. With players like him and gary mohan and ronan botle truagh should avoid relegation. Luke scored two goals vs cremartin all be it the second was as lucky as they come as it hit off him n fell into net. He did pull out of few tackles but hopefully with experience he doesnt pull out of tackles as he could be a gem for monaghan and truagh.
