🏐 Monaghan U14s 🏐 The U14 Festival of Football kicked off in wet and miserable conditions last Saturday 2nd March in Magherafelt with Monaghan taking on the best of what Cavan and Derry had to offer. Against Cavan, fresh off a win over Derry, the Breffni County got off to a flying start and burst into a three-point half-time, 2-3 to 1-3, with Monaghan's scores coming from Eabha Sherry (1-2) and Lily Monaghan (0-1). The conditions gradually deteriorated as the game restarted, and the teams were forced to contend with some testing wind and rain as well as each other. Monaghan's defence were resilient, and Laura McGeown, Megan Byrne and Ciara Treanor, in particular, excelled in rising to the occasion, while Orna Kelly pulled off some impressive saves. Meanwhile in the Farney County's vanguard, Lily Monghan was causing problems for Cavan's defence again, finishing off a lovely phase of play by putting the ball in the net and adding a point for good measure. Unfortunately for Monaghan, the reigning All-Ireland champions refused to lose their composure and contained their opponents when push came to shove, with Cavan emerging victorious on a score-line of 3-5 to 2-4 in an exciting close encounter. Nevertheless, with the new under-14 league set-up there were three successive games to be played: Cavan v Derry, Monaghan v Cavan and finally Derry v Monaghan. Monaghan's second, and final, game against Derry was played out in the sludge and rain, with the weather getting increasingly worse as the game developed. Monaghan began much the stronger team on this occasion, running into a three-point half-time lead through scores from Eabha Sherry (1-1), and both Molly Coffey-O'Connor and Laura McGeown (0-1 each). Despite flying out of the blocks Monaghan maintained their intensity through out the second half and their efforts reaped dividends in the form of three goals, two from Eabha Sherry and one from Lily Monaghan. With Laura McGeown and Erin Keenan also on form, scoring a point and two points respectively. As the tournament concluded Monaghan had showed their strength by using their entire squad over the two games and beat Derry comprehensively, 4-6 to 1-2. Team U14 panel 1. Orna Kelly 2.
