Went to this one to see what the standard was like. Desperate stuff. Both teams poor, but Blayney got one score in the first 30 minutes, with the breeze. The boys here bigging up Blayney, and their backroom team would need to have a serious chat with themselves. Magheracloone weren't much better, but once they got the goal themselves they settled and kicked the last seven scores.

Blayney looked very average at the weekend missed so many chances. Maraghcloone turned them over every time they entered contact. Corduff and Cremartin are cat they look like two mid table intermediate teams. Farneyarmy2013 (Monaghan) - Posts: 38 - 17/08/2026 09:10:56 2690136 Link 0 |

I'm told the lads in question didn't play on saturday against currin so if no rules were broken why did they not play on Saturday having played the previous week……..the whole thing is farcical…. Took myself to inniskeen corduff on Saturday, it was literally men against boys…not hard to see why certain quarters were pushing so hard for senior to be extended to 12 teams………… inniskeen moving well and clearly the 2nd best team in the county.. mick2007 (Monaghan) - Posts: 687 - 17/08/2026 09:31:18 2690139 Link 2 |

I thought last year that Blayney got promoted a year or 2 too early. Their league results this year distorted where they are at right now. They have a lot of decent young players coming through from minor (A McGinnity, Nugent, McGeough) and Blayney will be a stronger proposition in coming years. It will be a relegation play off for them and lucky for them only one team going down. Based on yesterday, there are the worst team I've seen this year in senior. Think it will be between them and Cremartin. On a different note, Dualta Honney has looked impressive for Carrick in the past two games. Has he quit soccer or in the midst of getting a new club? If he committed to GAA, he'd be worth a look for Monaghan. In intermediate, good to see Michael Hamill make his return for Emyvale. Hopefully he can regain his form after a terrible injury. sleater (Monaghan) - Posts: 210 - 17/08/2026 09:52:19 2690142 Link 0 |

Truagh won't win another game in Junior championship but the win over Killeevan will probably be enough for a quarter final. Killeevan probably miss out. Blackhill v Currin is a big game next week. On the other side Rockcorry won't get through. They have shipped 2 big defeats already.Toome and Seans in real danger of not making quarter final. Oram look good and Aghabog. Intermediate still up in the air. Ballybay probably favourites now with Bannigan injured again yesterday.Emyvale maybe dark horses. Looked on clubber like Clones should have won in Aughnamullen. No point even predicting Senior. Inniskeen probably looking likely to be the beaten finalists.Corduff, Castleblayney and Cremartin are all struggling. The new restructure next year will be a nightmare, with several teams out of their depth in both Senior and Intermediate grades. Junior is going to be totally devalued, with a pile of C teams allowed to enter. Matchwatcher (Monaghan) - Posts: 53 - 17/08/2026 14:31:58 2690200 Link 1 |

What's the problem with C teams ? What do you suggest these clubs do ? Not develop their players ? Surely junior clubs want to get better veterngaa (Monaghan) - Posts: 1101 - 17/08/2026 15:04:04 2690206 Link 0 |

It looks like there were teams like Latton and Blayney flattering themselves by going hard during the league, when the real contenders like Inniskeen weren't even fielding, with even Carrick putting out scrap teams and taking all in. Inniskeen going well, but will be second fiddle to Scotstown in the latter end. The relegation battle will be where the real competition is this year.
