Ulster Club Championship
Clontibret make history when they take part in the Ulster Club Championship, Bridie McMenamin Shield, on Sunday next, when they become the first camogie club from Monaghan to reach this stage of the competition. They meet Cavan Champions, Castletara at Tattyreagh, Co Tyrone on Sunday at 2pm.
