Monaghan see off Roscommon

March 19th, 2017

Allianz National Football League Division One

Monaghan 2-17 Roscommon 1-13                                       19/3/17

Monaghan moved into a four-way tie at the top of the NFL Division One with a comfortable win over Roscommon in Inniskeen on Sunday. Monaghan led by four points at the end of an entertaining first half, before goals by Owen Duffy and Jack McCarron sealed a return to winning ways.

McCarron top-scored with 1-7, while Conor McManus and Dessie Ward (on his first league start) were also among seven scorers for Monaghan, who never trailed in this game. Tadhg O’Rourke got a late consolation goal for Roscommon, but they couldn’t avoid a fifth straight defeat.

Monaghan face Ulster rivals Donegal in a top-of-the-table clash at Ballyshannon next Sunday.
