With the exception of last year Toome have generally competed well in intermediate over that time period. Think they reached 3 intermediate semi finals over that 10 year period.

Atleast these teams are able to get up out of Junior, I'd be more worried about the clubs who are stuck in Junior, intermediate be more competitive next year with 12 in Senior so will be interesting to see how it plays out

I don't think David Hanley or Jamie Mooney would be near the Clontibret team

Was at Toome v Oram game yesterday evening very poor quality game when Toome were missing wilson the 2 mc mahons and Frank Connolly they where always gonna struggle. Teams like Blackhill and Toome probably are working of smaller panels than anyone in monaghan and have had success over the last 10 years while other alot bigger clubs in Junior have been struggling so credit to them both

Good start to the senior championship with only a 1 point margin across 2 games. Carrick Scotstown will be emotionally charged for good reason, hope its a competitive encounter but hard to see. Inniskeen should lay down a marker too. Eddie the Exile (Monaghan) - Posts: 1386 - 09/08/2026 09:58:03 2689136 Link 0 |

Scotstowns 5th team HAMMERED Rock and Truaghs 3rd team beat Killeevan. Would love to get junior clubs opinions on these teams in the competition. They will deny some club a semi or final spot which in my own opinion isn't right

All fairness given to the teams in junior. Both scotstown and Truagh had a considerable amount of younger players who have played at and won division 1 minor titles in the last few years. They are playing for their place in the senior sides top 40. These players are at a level that the basement junior clubs could only wish to achieve

Must say was very impressed with truagh in the juniors, if that's the way they are trying to build towards a stronger senior team it looks promising, senior and junior double incoming ?? traceyconcrete (Monaghan) - Posts: 1 - 09/08/2026 22:53:40 2689243 Link 0 |

Its time for these Junior teams to get their house in order because the big teams are getting stronger. Truagh/ Scotstown lads fighting for their lives to get in senior panel. Getting exposure to top class training and S/C. If the bottom half of junior isnt careful they will be left behind and it will be only second teams winning it in the coming years.

Absolutely agree, think is hard on the small clubs because the reality is next year there will be more C teams involved and they will pass out the smaller clubs in junior which I think is wrong, but the question is how do you over come this as a junior team , Rock had their glory days in 2015 but inevitably returned to Junior and are now in a dark place, Currin's run in 2018 and Sean's as well but when you have a smaller playing population how is the bridge gapped, these teams have a good generation here and there but always return to junior?

All these lads on C teams are training with senior teams exposed to a better standard of football and better all round training. Like these lads will all be on specialist programmes for S&C and nutrition. All of these teams taking in Div 1 minor teams each year which is a big help. Toome Blackhill have no juveniles. Rockorry Kileevan Seans Currin Oram & Drumhowan all have teams but all playing in lower divisions with the bare minimum of players. All these teams need a big influx of players at the same time or else its no good. Farneyarmy2013 (Monaghan) - Posts: 32 - 10/08/2026 12:29:12 2689298 Link 0 |
