Round-up (March 3-4)

March 6th, 2012

Monaghan’s county teams had mixed fortunes over the weekend, as the senior men’s football side fell to a disappointing defeat in Derry in the Allianz NFL Division Two on Saturday evening, but the ladies continued their good form in the Bord Gáis NFL Division One with a comprehensive win away to Donegal on Sunday. Cathriona McConnell and Ciara McAnespie scored two goals each and Caoimhe Mohan also found the net once again as Monaghan cruised to a 5-16 to 1-5 victory which leaves them nicely poised with three wins to their name. The Under-21 footballers had been beaten by Tyrone by 3-11 to 1-11 in the Shamrock Cup Final last Wednesday.
