CLUB SCENE.
It was relatively quiet over the weekend on the club scene in Monaghan as Bank Holiday weekends are by and large kept free from fixtures. There was however a round of matches in the three reserve knockout competitions and one or two other games the chief one of which was the meeting of Rockcorry and Latton in the senior football league on Sunday with Rockcorry picking up their first points of the season with a comfortable victory at home against Latton, 3-17 to 2-9 the final tally.
