Hard to see how Kieran is currently the best player in the county to be honest. Jack and Rory won the game for Scotstown. Jack scored 1-2 and Rory got 7 points. He also put the 2nd goal on a plate.That was the difference. Put Beggan on any team and he improves them massively with his ability to kick (2 pointers especially)Woods was excellent for Inniskeen. They'll give Scotstown a better game than Magheracloone could. Woods is the closest to Rory in terms of ability to kick 2 pointers. But McCarthy is a big loss for Scotstown, in fairness. Is he gone for the season? In Intermediate, Killanny defy the odds again. Good characters to be fair. Carrick probably favourites though? Emyvale overwhelming favourites for Junior championship. Seans have a few good lads but Emyvale are a senior team in waiting. Hard to see them beaten. Thoughts.....? Matchwatcher (Monaghan) - Posts: 10 - 12/10/2025 20:49:49 2639579 Link 0 |

You've contradicted yourself….. you've no doubt blayney will win the league and you also think Carrick will win the double?

Inniskeen's greater depth won the game - being able to bring on Donal Meegan who had quite an impact when he came as a sub as opposed to Magheracloone who lost Jack Doogan early into the second half and their sub didn't make an impact at all. Magheracloone have very done well this year, played excellent football at times but their panel depth showed yesterday. Magheracloone got some match ups right but couldn't negate all Inniskeen's best players. In the previous game between them McNulty had a great game but I thought Doogan-Burke played well on him yesterday. This time Shane Hanratty had a very influential game. Blayney, Carrick was a good game. The game hung on a couple of key moments in each half and each time Matthew Carolan was the guy who stood up and made the difference. After blayney got their goal, they had the chance from a free to go 4 in front, but they inexplicably went short with it. Carrick won the ball and Matthew Carolan took responsibility and hit a great two pointer. In second half as Blayney closed the gap, he once again hit a 2 pointer. that was the score that sunk Blayney. Anytime I've seen Carolan play for Monaghan U20 or minor this lad has leadership and responsibility in abundance. Killanny did well again. Ronan Grimes is kryptonite to other teams attackers. Any idea why he hasn't opted for county senior football? sleater (Monaghan) - Posts: 182 - 13/10/2025 08:19:42 2639650 Link 0 |

If BLayney get over harps may have 2 chances of promotion.... Carrick in League final and if carrick win double, their will be a playoff between Kilanny and blayney for promotion

How do yous do it Vetern?? Thankfully yous were able to find some replacements around Knocktallon, Ballinode, Scotstown and Tydavnet, and of course Currin. Yous truly are miracle workers!

Say what you want but good coaching and Community effort! Many men on here should spend less time on the high stool. Numbers never won a championship… good underage structures and planning does.

Good games over weekend could Malone be talked back into a playing role next year or will he be coach only? farneygael3 (Monaghan) - Posts: 413 - 13/10/2025 21:07:32 2639849 Link 0 |

You also forgot to add, a dip into the transfer market… would have been no county titles the last 2 years only for that dip….

No doubting there is good underage structure in place, but I'd like to think the vast majority of clubs in the county would be able to find a few senior players from every age group when you have 40+ boys at every age group. Make sure to give a big shoutout to the Currin underage structures also, as without it I don't believe you would have won a championship this year or last year, for all the numbers you have.
