Yesterday was a day that the McCarron family of Monaghan won't forget in a hurry.

Up and coming Farney star Jack McCarron put his recent injury woes behind him to play a starring role in the 2-8 to 1-10 Allianz FL Division 1 victory in Fitzgerald Stadium.

The full-forward registered 1-3 for Malachy O'Rourke's side but his sister Ellen went 1-2 better as she helped herself to 2-5 against the Kingdom.

But, unfortunately from Ellen's perspective, it wasn't enough to prevent her team from falling to a 2-9 to 3-11 loss.

Regardless of the results, their father Ray must be very proud to see his children follow in his footsteps.

Ray was, of course, a Monaghan star of the eighties and nineties and accumulated two Ulster SFC, one NFL and an All-Star award during his illustrious career.
