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 |

Numbers are a huge factor, I see Truagh had 43 listed for their junior game Friday night while scotstown had 30 odd listed for their junior game.. rumour has it there's an interesting day or 2 ahead ahead this week in junior arising from Fridays result/team selection…..both scotstown and Truagh prob have 90-100 senior players to pick from… eye watering numbers/options compared to junior clubs and indeed intermediate clubs like tyholland, eire og, dohamlet and Ballybay and cremartin in senior…huge numbers drastically improve training and competition for places etc…

You need to fact check your information. Your correct about toome juvenile woes. But the following is Blackhill are fielding two teams at u12, amalagmated with doohamlet at u14, with a even split of represenation. They have won the u14 div 3 league and are now 3 of 3 unbeaten in div 2 championship. Their u16s and minors are again amalgmated with doohamlet. Currin u14 are div 2 on their own. U16s div 2 amalgmated with eire og and minors in div 2 league final amalgated with eire og. Killeevan u14s are in div 1 and 2. U16 and minors operating in div 2. Oram fielding on their own at u14 beat in div 3 league final. U16 div 2 shield winners. Rockcorry have amalaged at all under age levels. latefortraining (Monaghan) - Posts: 138 - 10/08/2026 15:30:00 2689331 Link 0 |

It will be interesting to see if some of the bigger clubs do likewise with Truagh have done this year and field a junior team. Of course now as well older players maybe in their late 30s can play for a greater lenght of time to help teams like that develop. 222 (UK) - Posts: 960 - 10/08/2026 15:56:30 2689336 Link 0 |

Scotstown had 4 players on their junior side the other night who have started at least 6 senior championship finals each. 2 of them being man of the match in different finals. No club in junior is able to compete with that quality never mind the young lads who are aiming to break into their Ulster winning panel
