2 super days of football ahead , Think it will be 4 tight games , Starting tomorrow Donaghmoyne by 2 or 3 Think they will have too much fire power in the likes of garland , 2 mc Donald's and conor Burns Killanny don't have the same level of scores Carrick to beat Blaney by 4, O hanlon back is massive for them, add in the louth recruit maguire, think they ll have too much in attack for Blaney On Sunday Scotstown are Scotstown, hard bet anyday but from here in , very very hard to beat , But going to put my head on the block, Mc manus being the difference , Clontibert by 2 Really exciting game this one Magheracloone hoping to reproduce last week's performance, they ll be hoping they haven't played their final last week Inniskeen by 4, probably have too much with 2 Jones, woods and mc nulty Hope they are all as close as above MONAGHAN1985 (Monaghan) - Posts: 92 - 10/10/2025 14:54:28 2639239 Link
Predicting a comfortable victory for Carrick today. They should win the Ulser Intermediate Club Championship this year. HB245 (Monaghan) - Posts: 267 - 11/10/2025 13:13:52 2639308 Link
Replying To HB245: "Predicting a comfortable victory for Carrick today. They should win the Ulser Intermediate Club Championship this year." Like the last time the Moy schooled them in Ulster…. Where's all the Blayney men? Will Johnny Logan be on repeat? veterngaa (Monaghan) - Posts: 850 - 11/10/2025 17:32:17 2639339 Link

A very impressive performance and credit where it's due, hope they go on to win it now. Jjoniel79 (Monaghan) - Posts: 236 - 11/10/2025 17:41:22 2639342 Link
That should quiten the Blaney crickets for a while. ORIELMAN85 (Monaghan) - Posts: 817 - 11/10/2025 18:20:06 2639345 Link
Replying To veterngaa: "Like the last time the Moy schooled them in Ulster…. Where's all the Blayney men? Will Johnny Logan be on repeat?" Schooled them? Moy beat them by a point (a last minute free from Sean Cavanagh), and Carrick should have won comfortably that day. Moy went on to win the All Ireland that year. They would get it tight against Eglish/Clonoe (whichever one comes out of Tyrone, I'd be guessing Eglish) but I'd fancy Carrick to win it out. Serious team there. As for the Castleblayney boys, hopefully they'll spend the winter honing their skills on the field rather than on this hoganstand forum. Might suit them better.

Impressive from killanny today. Have to definitely see themselves as favourites. I believe 4-14 today which is excellent shooting. They will think they can break Carrick down and go all the way. Definitely the favorites in my eyes on paper. Hard luck to blayney today. Malone some operator. Donaghmoyne never got going, maybe they weren't allowed.

And that man is manager of the U20 team next year? Embarrassing result, championship is where you're judged farneygael3 (Monaghan) - Posts: 412 - 11/10/2025 20:10:52 2639367 Link
Replying To farneygael3: "And that man is manager of the U20 team next year? Embarrassing result, championship is where you're judged" Hardly an embarrassing result losing to the favourites? A lot of quiet delusional Blayney folk in here now. eirekeeper (Monaghan) - Posts: 128 - 11/10/2025 21:26:01 2639383 Link
On to the big boy stuff tomorrow. Going to be some great matchups across the board that should be worth the admission alone. If McCarthy and O'Toole are missing, Clontibret have every chance. If history has taught us anything over the last 12/13 years, it's that if anyone is going to beat them, it'll be the men in yellow. Magheracloone have every chance vs Inniskeen too. A fair few of these Magheracloone players have experience playing in a county final in 2017, so they shouldn't be phased by the big day. Matchups galore to look forward to: Dylan Byrne on Woods or Jones Jack Doogan on McNulty? Shane Hanratty on Paudie McMahon? Conor Boyle/Killian Lavelle on Jack McCarron Damien McCardle on McManus Who marks Aaron Carey/Dean McDonnell for Scotstown? Should be a good day out in Clones. Scotstown by 2 points Inniskeen and Magheracloone to be a draw! HB245 (Monaghan) - Posts: 267 - 11/10/2025 21:59:54 2639390 Link

They have a county final to win first … And who ever comes from Tyrone will hammer them veterngaa (Monaghan) - Posts: 850 - 12/10/2025 07:51:17 2639418 Link
I have no doubt Blayney will go on and win the league now. Robbie and Benny will be back in a few weeks and we will be primed for action. The goal is promotion and like I've said all year Carrick will do the double. Was totally unexpected for them not to top group and had expected a Blayney v donaghmoyne semi updafaughs (Monaghan) - Posts: 149 - 12/10/2025 08:33:24 2639419 Link
Yes a sobering day for the faughs and a footballing lesson handed out to some of their young guns. Carrick took complete control mid way through the opening half and won pulling up. Other semi final also very one sided , donaghmoyne win over carrick masked a very poor season by them and killanny proved that yesterday, winning comfortably. Carrick have a chance to bury the demons from 23 now. 222 (UK) - Posts: 878 - 12/10/2025 08:44:44 2639420 Link

Easy win today for the Blues! In 2nd gear without McElwain, McCarthy , o'toole and Sherlock! McManus never got a sniff of it… big boy stuff .. clontibret the talk of the county in the group stages!!! veterngaa (Monaghan) - Posts: 850 - 12/10/2025 15:25:02 2639476 Link

Scotstown could possibly be in two championship finals…missing lads in both. Fergal Sherlock was a huge miss going off last week for the juniors alongside the lads missing for the seniors monaghan1993 (Monaghan) - Posts: 2 - 12/10/2025 19:50:37 2639554 Link
Well done inniskeen be good to see them win it. Scotstown predictable enough win. Beggan his usual clinical self and Kieran Hughes still best player in the county. Special mention for Conor Boyle who thought was superb big loss to county. seanie08 (Monaghan) - Posts: 1916 - 12/10/2025 19:53:28 2639555 Link
