Referees Wanted
Without a referee we don’t have a game and the better the referee (generally speaking) the better the contest. Monaghan County Board are seeking referees for the new season. This is your chance to get involved. We all think we know better than the referee, now is your chance to prove it. Why not volunteer, if you think that you have what is needed to make a good referee then your club needs you. Training will be provided and the support of the county referee committee is guaranteed. This is an ideal opportunity for a young player or a recently retired player to make a further contribution to the game. There is a serious shortage for juvenile games so younger referees would be particularly welcome. More details can be found on the Facebook page or from the club chairman.

Bereavement
The Club would like extend our sincere sympathy and condolences to the families and friends of Tommy Bannigan Lough Egish and Frank Durnan, Carrickasedge. May they rest in peace.
