Senior Men

Scotstown opened their 2026 Loughman Sports Senior League campaign at Páirc Mhuire on Saturday evening last against Corduff, producing a strong and composed performance to claim the first win of the season. The Blues started brightly, settling quickly into the game and taking control of possession. Early scores helped Scotstown build momentum, and the team carried that sharpness throughout the first half, moving the ball well and keeping the scoreboard ticking.

Corduff responded strongly with spells of pressure, but Scotstown’s defence stood firm, turning over key attacks and launching several well-worked counter-moves leading 0-10 to 1-3. As the second half progressed, the home side continued to push on, adding important scores to keep daylight between the teams. In the closing stages, Scotstown managed the game intelligently, maintaining their lead and seeing out the contest with confidence to secure a deserved opening-round victory.

A positive start to the league campaign, with plenty of encouraging signs across the pitch. Final score of 0-15 to 1-6.

The senior men next play Inniskeen away on Sunday 26 th April at 3pm continuing the league series of competitive clashes both home and away throughout April, May, June and early July.

Scotstown’s fixtures are as follows:

Round 1 (11 April – 6pm): Scotstown (0-15) v (1-6) Corduff, Páirc Mhuire
Round 2 (26 April – 3pm): Inniskeen v Scotstown, Inniskeen
Round 3 (10 May – 3:30pm): Castleblayney v Scotstown, Castleblayney
Round 4 (16 May – 7pm): Scotstown v Clontibret, Páirc Mhuire
Round 5 (24 May - TBC): Cremartin v Scotstown, Cremartin
Round 6 (5 June – 8pm): Scotstown v Gaeil Triucha, Páirc Mhuire
Round 7 (14 June - TBC): Latton v Scotstown, Latton
Round 8 (26 June – 8pm): Scotstown v Carrickmacross, Páirc Mhuire
Round 9 (4 July – 5pm): Magheracloone v Scotstown, Magheracloone

We wish our senior team and management the very best as preparations continue for the season ahead. With strong support behind them, we look forward to another committed and exciting league campaign.

Junior Men

Scotstown’s Junior Men put in a committed effort to Currin (played in Kilmore), but Currin proved the stronger team on the day, finishing out 4–15 to 3–7 in the opening round of the 2026 Junior Football League. Currin started sharply and built an early lead, but Scotstown responded well with a well-taken goal to keep themselves in the contest. The first half was competitive, with both sides trading scores, but Currin’s ability to convert chances gave them the advantage at the break.

In the second half, Scotstown battled hard and struck for two more goals, showing great determination and work rate throughout the field. Currin, however, remained clinical in front of the posts, adding key scores that kept them in control as the game entered the final stages.

Despite the result, the Scotstown men showed plenty of fight, created good scoring chances, and demonstrated strong teamwork in their first outing of the season. There’s lots to build on as the league campaign continues.

The Juniors will continue their campaign at home to Oram on Saturday 25th April at 7pm, with four home games in total at Páirc Mhuire across the league.

Scotstown Junior Fixtures:

Round 1 – 11 April – 7pm: Currin v Scotstown (Kilmore)
Round 2 – 25 April – 7pm: Scotstown v Oram (Home – Páirc Mhuire)
Round 3 – 9 May – 7pm: Aghabog Emmets v Scotstown (Away)
Round 4 – 15 May – 7:45pm: Scotstown v Killeevan Sarsfields (Home – Páirc Mhuire)
Round 5 – 24 May – 2pm: Blackhill Emeralds v Scotstown (Away)
Round 6 – 5 June – 8pm: Scotstown v Toome (Home – Páirc Mhuire)

Ladies Football

Scotstown’s Senior Ladies opened their 2026 league campaign on Sunday morning at Páirc Mhuire, producing a strong and spirited performance in a highly competitive contest against Magheracloone. The game was tight throughout, with both sides enjoying periods of momentum and creating plenty of scoring chances.

Scotstown struck for three well-worked goals, showing sharp movement and excellent finishing in the forward line. Magheracloone, however, were consistent and accurate with their point-taking, keeping the scoreboard ticking and edging ahead as the game entered the final stages.

Despite pushing hard right to the final whistle and creating late opportunities, Scotstown were unable to close the gap, with Magheracloone holding on for a narrow win.

A committed display from the team with lots of positives to take into the next round.

Full-time: Scotstown 3–7, Magheracloone 1–13

The ladies travel to Magheracloone again on Sunday, 26 April, 11:30 am for Round 3 of the Reserve League Division 1.

It is with deep sadness that we learnt of the passing of Eddie McKenna (Hughie).

We would like to offer our deepest sympathy and sincere condolences to his son Dara (Emer) and daughter Grainne (Barry Mc Namee); his much-loved grandchildren, Sheenagh, Caolán, Aoife, Aoibheann, Niall and Darren; his brothers, sisters, bothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, his nephews, nieces, relatives, friends, neighbours and all who knew and loved him.

Eddie was a lifelong supporter of our club and a distinguished community person, who was actively involved in the current redevelopment of St. Mary’s Hall Urbleshanny, where he was chairman of the committee. Last month, Eddie was safely taxiing patrons from the Scotstown complex after the Ulster final night celebrations, a recent example of the immense community work Eddie devoted, and he will be greatly missed by everyone in the community and beyond.

May Eddie’s gentle soul Rest In Peace. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

An Bhoth GAA Club Notes – 06/01/2026

Heartbreaking Exi t for Brave Scotstown in All-Ireland Semi-Final

Kingspan Breffni Park, Sunday 4th January 2026
St Brigid’s (Roscommon) 1-16
Scotstown 1-12

Scotstown’s club championship campaign came to a valiant end in freezing conditions in Breffni Park, as Connacht champions St Brigid’s held on for a four-point win in a gripping semi-final. Despite a strong fightback and several goal chances that could have turned the tie, the Ulster champions fell just short, leaving huge pride alongside inevitable disappointment after a season that delivered our first provincial title in 36 years.

The game sprang into life early, with Rory Beggan pointing a ’45 to open the scoring for Scotstown. St Brigid’s landed a major blow on six minutes when Brian Derwin finished clinically to the net. Two further points quickly followed, giving the Roscommon men a four-point lead.

Scotstown responded brilliantly. Nicky Sherlock clipped a fine point, and moments later Jack McCarron rifled home a superb goal across the goalkeeper to level the contest at 1-2 apiece. St Brigid’s edged back in front with a point, before Max Maguire replied with a well-placed score. Francis Maguire then landed a spectacular two-pointer and by the 18th minute Scotstown were two up and looking dangerous, dominating possession while our defence repelled several Brigid’s attacks.

However, St Brigid’s began to take control through midfield and transition play, using their recent experience of deep championship runs. They reeled off a run of points, including a Bobby Nugent two-pointer, to lead 1-10 to 1-6 at the break. It was an intense half, with both sides trading scores, but Brigid’s clinical counter-attacking proved the difference.

Second Half

Scotstown pushed hard to reel in the deficit and created big opportunities. The key moment came around the 55th minute when Jack McCarron rounded the keeper, only for Seán Trundle to produce a fine block on the line — a pivotal stop.

Early in the second half, Shane Carey and Francis Maguire landed two excellent points to keep the gap to four. Later, with 13 minutes gone, Jack added a fine score to make it 1-13 to 1-9 to St Brigid’s, before the Roscommon men struck a two-pointer to extend their lead to six with 13 minutes of normal time remaining.

Scotstown then tapped into the resilience and comeback spirit that has become a trademark of this team and club, creating an eclectic mix of chances that on another day would have carried the Blues through, as described above. During this spell, Jack scored two excellent points to cut the deficit back to four with eight minutes remaining. Despite the pressure, strong possession and turnovers, Scotstown could only add one more point, where a fine goal effort by Mícheál McCarville narrowly dropped over the bar.

In the end, St Brigid’s experience at this stage told as they managed the game well, adding insurance scores to maintain their four-point cushion. They now advance to face Dingle in the final on January 18th, but Scotstown return home with heads held high.

This team, under David McCague, delivered unforgettable moments — ending the Ulster drought against Kilcoo and battling to a national semi-final for the first time in decades. The effort, spirit and skill shown, even in defeat, is a credit to the players, management and everyone in the club.

Thanks to the tremendous travelling support who braved the cold — your backing was felt throughout. We’ll regroup, reflect on a memorable journey, and come back stronger in 2026.

Commiserations & Huge Thanks to Our Senior Team & Management

Sunday’s All-Ireland Semi-Final didn’t go our way. The disappointment is real, but the pride we feel in this group is even stronger. You gave everything in Breffni Park against a strong St Brigid’s side, falling just short in a hard-fought semi-final (1-12 to 1-16).

The overriding emotion from supporters is huge pride and gratitude for what has been an outstanding journey this season.

To our senior players, management and backroom team — thank you. You gave the Scotstown community a season filled with heart, resilience and moments that brought people together. Winning both the Monaghan Senior Championship and the Ulster Senior Championship speaks volumes about commitment, character and the spirit of this club.

You carried the hopes of the parish onto the biggest stage and represented Scotstown with class every step of the way. From hard training nights to battles on the field, you inspired young and old across the community.

While Sunday wasn’t our day, the journey will be remembered with pride. The support behind you remains as strong as ever, and we know this team will rise again. To the supporters who travelled in huge numbers on the day and throughout the year — your voices, flags and unwavering backing meant the world to the team and management.

Onwards and upwards into 2026.

Congratulations to St Brigid’s GAA Club and best wishes in the final. Thanks to referee Brendan Cawley, the match officials, and to Cavan County Board and GAA for hosting and administration.

Scotstown Claim Fifth Ulster Title After Extra-Time Epic Against Kilcoo

AIB Ulster Club SFC Final
BOX-IT Athletic Grounds, Armagh – Saturday 13 December 2025

Scotstown 0-19 Kilcoo 0-16 (AET)

Scotstown GAA are Ulster champions once more. After 36 long years of heartbreak, including three Ulster Final defeats in the last decade, our Senior men finally bridged the gap they so richly deserved with a gripping extra-time victory over a resilient Kilcoo side.

Captain Damien McArdle lifted the Seamus McFerran Cup in front of delirious blue and white supporters, marking the club’s fifth provincial crown.

In a wind-swept Athletic Grounds, Scotstown showed tremendous character to withstand a fierce Kilcoo comeback before dominating extra-time when it mattered most. Man of the Match Rory Beggan was the undoubted hero among a brilliant and dedicated team, contributing a masterful 0-11, including several long-range two-pointers, while also making crucial saves to keep the Magpies at bay.

Kilcoo elected to play into the strong wind in the opening half, adopting a possession-based approach designed to frustrate Scotstown’s attacking threats. It worked initially, limiting Scotstown to six first-half points despite holding a five-point lead. However, sustained pressure forced turnovers which were capitalised on superbly. Magnificent points from Mattie Maguire (two from play), along with Rory Beggan’s two perfect two-point frees, built a 0-6 to 0-1 half-time lead. Given the significant wind advantage, a tense second half was always expected.

After the break, Scotstown surged forward, pushing their advantage to eight points at one stage. Beggan converted a ’45 and produced a vital save to deny Kilcoo a goal, while a well-worked score from Ryan O’Toole and a majestic strike from Kieran Hughes made it 0-9 to 0-1. Kilcoo, led by the accurate placed balls of Paul Devlin, mounted a determined fightback, reducing the margin to 0-9 to 0-8.

Scotstown responded strongly and regained control through another excellent point from Kieran Hughes and a wonderful two-point free from Beggan, struck high against the wind, to move clear at 0-12 to 0-9. With one hand seemingly on the Seamus McFerran Cup, Scotstown led by three points entering injury time. However, Kilcoo forced extra-time with a late two-pointer followed by a dramatic last-gasp equaliser to level the match at 0-12 apiece.

Extra-time saw Scotstown seize control once again. With the wind advantage in the first period, Rory Beggan and substitute Conor McCarthy combined for two superb two-pointers, stretching the lead to four points by the turnaround. Kilcoo briefly narrowed the gap, but Scotstown’s defence — marshalled superbly by Damien McArdle and the Hughes brothers — held firm. Beggan’s final free sealed the victory, sparking scenes of pure ecstasy as the final whistle sounded, confirming a 0-19 to 0-16 triumph.

This Ulster success was built on resilience — from the dramatic penalty shoot-out semi-final win over Newbridge to digging deep against one of Ulster’s modern giants. The blend of experience and youth shone throughout, with every player contributing in a true team effort under the excellent guidance of manager David McCague and his outstanding management team.

A massive congratulations to the team and management on this epic achievement and for bringing such immense early Christmas joy to the parish. Hard luck and commiserations to Kilcoo. Thanks to Pearse Óg Armagh for being exemplary hosts, and to Ulster GAA, Monaghan GAA and everyone involved in the organisation.

Attention now turns to the All-Ireland semi-final against Connacht champions St Brigid’s in the New Year. For now, Scotstown can bask in provincial glory — Ulster kings once again.

Scotstown GAA Club Tribute to The Northern Standard

It is with great sadness that Scotstown GAA learned of the decision to cease publication of The Northern Standard after an incredible 186 years serving County Monaghan.

For generations, The Northern Standard has been the voice of our community — on the field, chronicling county finals, Ulster campaigns and young players’ first steps in the game; and off the field, covering community initiatives such as Make Your Céilí, Scór and much more. Match reports, player profiles, award nights and iconic photographs preserved the proud history of Scotstown GAA, clubs across the county and Monaghan GAA for families to cherish forever.

To the Smyth family, editors, journalists, photographers and staff past and present — including Colm Shalvay, Maitiu Monaghan, J.P. Graham, Rory Geary, Peadar McMahon, Sineád Hughes and Caroline McShane, who diligently featured our club notes every week — we extend our heartfelt thanks. This final edition on 18 December marks the end of an era, but the legacy of The Northern Standard will live on in Monaghan forever.

During May we had the Hello How are you? Campaign and in August, a community event after the Blessing of the Graves.

Thanks to all our bakers, supporters, volunteers on the day and whoever else contributed to make the event welcoming and successful.

Mackie Rooney Book Launch – last Friday in the Scotstown Complex

A Book for the Ages - Book-Launch of Mackie Rooney’s A Sliabh Beagh and North-Monaghan Miscellany.

Thanks to Scotstown Comhaltas Craobh Éamonn Ó’Muirí for the report below and Laura Treanor from Lavery Photos & Video for the photos on Social media.

As Mackie Rooney launched his book, a huge crowd gathered to celebrate this special occasion. Mackie shared some of the captivating stories behind his work, keeping the audience entertained throughout. The night was further enhanced by live music from his amazingly talented children and grandchildren, and our brilliant MC, Seamus McElwain, ensured everything ran smoothly. A huge thanks to Scotstown GAA for the wonderful facilities, and a big thank you to everyone who helped make the night such a success.

We are all so proud of you, Mackie - a wonderful occasion for you, Pauline, and all your family!

Comhghairdeas, Mackie.

A Sliabh Beagh and North-Monaghan Miscellany abounds in folklore which was quite common to an Ireland of former times-a belief in fairies, ghosts, banshees, and superstitions of a malign nature. However, the author has tossed in so many humorous pieces that we can feel assured that he, at least, is not in thrall, to this past, while yet shining a light on the lives of our ancestors. An excellent read and very good value at €40-£35.

Outlets for A Sliabh and North-Monaghan Miscellany following the launch: McMahons’ Centra; Martin the Butcher; The Pharmacy; Henry’s Bar;McCarvill’s, Killylough; The Village Shop, Ballinode; McAloon’s, Knockatallon; Emyvale Post Office; Luke Orru, Dunmoran N2; McAnenley Fuels Moy Bridge; Rock’s Stationary Park Street Monaghan; The Braeside Stores, Clonstibret; Katie’s Main St. Castleblayney; McAleers, Eshnadarra P.O.

Mackie Rooney Book Launch – This Friday 14th February – Scotstown Complex 8pm

A Book for the Ages - Book-Launch at Scotstown

Now that Storm Eowyn has passed we can look forward to getting out and about again and what better event to bring people together than a book-launch. And this sense of occasion will surely electrify those attending the Scotstown Sports Complex at 8 pm on Friday 14th (Feb.)

The keenly-awaited A Sliabh Beagh and North-Monaghan Miscellany has been safely delivered after a long gestation, but the wait has been most certainly worthwhile. The author, Scotstown-man Mackie Rooney, has spent half a lifetime immersed in the folklore and local history of his native parish of Tydavnet and Sliabh Beagh. His modus operandi was simplicity itself-interviewing elderly people and researching the archives of regional newspapers. Small wonder that the final product is a three-volume (1100 pages) ‘book for the ages’ which will ensure that the struggles, but also the lighter moments, of day-to-day life for our ancestors is not forgotten in this digital age.

Teeming with at least 150 topics from the naming of Sliabh Beagh to recent sporting events, we journey through the folklore of The Early Christian Period and Penal Times to the more documented history of the 19thand 20thcenturies-The Famine, The Fenians, Evictions and The Struggle for the Land, The War of Independence, The Establishment of the Border, Smuggling and the 1955-1962 Border Campaign. The book touches and deals sensitively with some controversial events which still rankle in the community. Not surprisingly, he gave a wide berth to some of these events but left the door ajar with ‘A Future Project’ on what could be revisited at another time. His interviews over many years with the elderly throw added light on the major events of the twentieth century. The many poems and photos add lustre to this insight.

Rooney is to be lauded in what was for him a labour of love. He appreciates that to know ourselves we must know our past. And yet, if we hope to move on, we cannot be shackled by the past.

Our Condolences

It is with a heavy heart that our club learned of the sad passing of Gene McCague. Gene had an immense involvement in Scotstown GAA from its establishment in a myriad of roles from juvenile player, winning Under 14 medals, to senior championship success as a player, to chairperson, to development of the club, to organising draws and more recently the Gala Ball celebrating the club’s 50 years. Gene played senior football for the club and won several honours including championship successes in the 1970s along with 1960s championship finals and the Owen Ward cup success of 1968. As a wise and reflective chairperson he oversaw the significant development of the club in the early 1980s and gave an outstanding welcoming speech for John Treacy after his Silver medal Marathon success at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. Gene was diligently involved in club development including the building of the Scotstown Complex and many other pivotal initiatives in the club. He also played county football for the Under 21s and was a devoted Scotstown GAA supporter and member who remained a frequent attendee of the games right up to the recent Ulster Club final and will sadly be missed by us all.

We would like to pass on our sincerest sympathy and deepest condolences to his wife Loretta, his son Paraic (Heather), daughters Elaine (Tom), Yvonne (Dan) and Carol, son John (Andrea), grandchildren Loretta, Fenton, Ellis, Conor, Clara, Aoife, Joe and Ada, sister Maureen, brothers in law, sisters in law, nephews, nieces, relatives and friends, and by all who knew and loved Gene. May Gene’s gentle soul Rest In Peace.

Ulster Minor Club Football Tournament Quarter Final result – Scotstown 3-6 Four Masters 3-7

The Scotstown Minors played Four Masters in the Ulster Minor Club St Paul’s Tournament Quarter Final on Sunday last in St. Pauls GAC ground, Belfast. Hard luck to our minor Blues and management who narrowly lost the game to the finest of margins. The lads played magnificently and lost to a strong Four Masters side who are the current Ulster Minor champions. Our Minors had another amazing season where they won the County Championship and were runners up in the Division 1 league cup as well as the B team finishing runners up in the Division 5 championship and Division 4 league cup. Well done to the teams and management on all the success.

Congratulations to Four Masters GAA in their win and all the best in their semi-final. Thanks to St Pauls GAA for excellently organising and hosting the tournament. Many thanks to the tremendous support and turnout by our Blues fans, you did our club proud as well as the minor team and management. Thanks to Kevin Herron from the Saffron Gael for the following match report.

2023 Ulster Minor holders Four Masters survived the first assault on their crown as they saw off Monaghan Champions Scotstown 3-07-3-06 in Sundays quarter-final clash on the Shaws Road. The Donegal kingpins settled into their stride when Callum McCrea broke out of defence and switched to Turlough Carr- he returned a pass to McCrea and in turn feed late replacement Thomas Lenehan to slam home inside of two minutes.

Scotstown replied through a 4th minute Sean Og McElwain free and the sides then traded scores through Kevin Muldoon and Tommy Mallen. The Monaghan outfit hit the front on the 12th minute when Max Maguire fisted the break ball at midfield and play was switched into the path of Darcy Foy to burst forward and fire low into the corner past Lewis McCaughan to make it 1-02-1-01. Mallen doubled his sides advantage and his personal tally for the half moments later, but the Carr brothers Tomas and Turlough both sent high efforts between the posts to restore parity. Scotstown regained the less temporarily thanks to an Ellis Foy shot that dropped between the posts, though Tomas Carr converted a free from the deck.

Having opened the game with a goal, Four Masters closed the half out on the front foot. Alan McHugh carried the ball forward and laid it off with Tiarnan McBride picking up possession and powering to the net with Turlough Carr adding a point in the aftermath to give the holders a 2-05-1-04 lead at the interval.

Scotstown clawed their way back into things within two minutes of the restart.Darcy Foy flighted a fine crossfield pass that Darragh Keenan intercepted and he bore down on goal before picking his spot to reduce the deficit to the bare minimum.

Parity was restored for the third time when Max Maguire produced a tremendous angled point on the 36th minute. The Monaghan Champions forged back ahead when Sean Og McElwain converted his second free of the contest to make it 2-06-2-05. Although it was shortlived as Four Masters hit the net for the third time and late replacement Thomas Lenehan claimed his second with a low shot that squeezed underneath Jimmy McKenna’s reach. Lenehan shot over his first point of the afternoon and a converted Tomas Carr free from the ground had Masters 3-07-2-06 ahead and surely into the last four.

A grandstand finish was on the cards though as Scotstown battled back and hit their third goal on the 53rd minute. Darragh Keenan bustled his way into a shooting position and sent a bullet of a shot to the net to reduce the deficit to the bare minimum again. They were unable to fightback for a third time though as the holders hung on to book their place in the St Stephens Day semi-final against the winners of next weekends Mayobridge and Fr Rocks quarter-final clash.

Scotstown Team and Scorers: Jimmy McKenna, Conal Gallagher, Darragh McMeel, Darragh Feeney, Eoin Prunty, Mark McCaffrey, Darcy Foy (1-0), Max Maguire (0-1), Joe Foley, Ellis Foy (0-1), Tommy Mallen (0-2), Darragh Keenan (2-0), Donnchadh Connolly, Seán Óg McElwain (0-2f), Cathal McElwain.

Scotstown GAA Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting of Scotstown GAA took place on Friday last, November 29th in the Scotstown complex. Our Youth Officer, Tiarnan McGonnell gave an extensive report where he reflected on the continuous improvement of our underage and juvenile teams and players. This included increasing participation in the future blues and underage teams and training sessions with more blitzes and challenge matches with other clubs around the country. Tiarnan praised the boys and girls for their behaviour, work ethic and respect, with tremendous enthusiasm and appetite for future development and progression. Tiarnan thanked all those involved in another successful year from the coaches to parents to sponsors and everyone else. This year was another bumper year for trophies with league and championship cup wins across the U12s, U14s and U16s levels and we have a considerable number of players with bright futures ahead in minor and senior level.

Next our Cultural Officer, Paddy Sherlock, reflected over another busy and successful year for the club in Cultural activities. Paddy praised and thanked the newly formed Cultural sub-committee and paid tribute to the late and great Bernie Sherry for all her outstanding work and contribution to cultural events in the past.

The Scór Sinsir competitions were held in March and our club was well represented and performed brilliantly in various events narrowly missing first places. Paddy Sherlock secured the County win in recitation and narrowly missed out in qualifying for the Ulster Final.

In June, Scotstown had excellent participation in the County finals of Scór na bPaisti (spraoi scor), with the Recitation and the dancers both claiming gold with several others a close 2nd and 3rd in their respective acts. Scotstown had further success in November with the Scór nan Óg County Finals with the quiz team winning the Monaghan final and securing a place in the All Ireland Final with a good run in Ulster. Paddy congratulated everyone involved. Paddy also thanked Pauline Rooney for her weekly Irish classes in the complex. Paddy thanked other club officials and everyone else in the club for their assistance including the communications and promotion of cultural events.

Our Secretary, Gary McQuaid, detailed an extensive outline of the football review so far of 2024, with the adult and minor teams. This has been another successful and busy year for the adult teams. The Senior men won the Monaghan Senior Championship for the 23rd time after qualifying for 12 finals in a row, winning 9 of those. The senior men also won the Senior League Owen ward Cup, which was the 12th county double Scotstown have achieved. The Senior men reached the Ulster Semi final last weekend but unfortunately lost. Gary praised and thanked the team and management and thanked everyone involved in the backroom team. The Senior reserves made the O’Duffy cup championship and Division 1A League cup finals and won the league cup but lost the championship final narrowly. The Junior men made further progress this year qualifying for the Championship and league cup quarter finals recording impressive wins and narrow losses in their campaigns. This was the second year of having 2 junior reserve teams which worked well giving everyone competitive football. The Division 3B team won the Division 3B League Cup and all 3 of the reserve teams finished top of their respective groups. The minor boys had another successful year. With both the A and B team reaching the league cup and championship finals. The Scotstown A team won the County Division 1 Championship in Clones on the same day as the Seniors won the County final and this was the first double in 43 years. The Minors now play in Ulster and face Four Masters of Donegal in the Quarter final of the St Paul’s tournament in Belfast this Sunday at 1pm in St. Paul’s GAC. Gary thanked all the management team members and the players for a successful year and wished the minor team and management all the best in Ulster. The Senior Ladies advanced with their progression and continuous improvement this year. There are 230 girls now involved in playing for Scotstown GAA. The Senior ladies made steady progress in the Reserve League Division 1 and in the Senior League Division 1 the Ladies qualified for their first ever Senior county final, but lost to a strong Emyvale side. The Ladies have secured their senior status in the championship for next year. The minor girls had a successful year with winning the Division 1 league cup and narrowly losing the Division 1 Championship semi final. Gary congratulated the teams and managements on their continuous improvement and success during the year.

Gary next focused on the facilities and the maintenance of our grounds. He thanked all the coaches and managers and the groundkeeping of Frank McKenna and the field committee for all working well together in the smooth running of 140 competitive games during the year, and to Sean McGovern for planning the schedule of training and home games on all the pitches. Gary thanked the PRO, Communications team and the live streaming team for keeping everyone informed of the games and general club and community related items. This included tweeting 140 games and 40 live streaming 40 games in 2024. Gary thanked the Health and Safety committee for all their work including the safeguarding courses. Gary paid tribute to the late and great Bernie Sherry and outlined some of the many outstanding achievements during the year including the progression of the Healthy Club where Scotstown is now aiming for the gold status. This was another busy year of community engagement and Healthy Club initiatives. This included the RTE Transformation walks which coincided with an invaluable Blood Pressure monitoring health check available for participants. Make a Ceili will be launched again this winter and Card playing has commenced in the Scotstown Complex. GAA for all initiative has continued this year as well. Earlier in the year women’s health, and alcohol and drugs awareness talks took place along with How are you? Metal health awareness in May. Cardiac screening happened and the ladies recently planted the daffodils in Kilmore for next year’s March Daffodil day. GAA 4 Mothers and Others is going strong and the club achieved the Silver Healthy Club status during the year. Gary thanked the development committee in all the progress and positive outcomes during the year including the official opening of the Kilmore hub and the installation of the new excellent floodlights at Kilmore.

Gary also referred to various initiatives and fundraisers during the year such as the Cul Camps, table quizzes, medal presentations, clothes collections, Big Breakfast, Scór activities and many other initiatives and events. Gary thanked all the volunteers, stewards, shop and all those activities that are smoothly run all year, and our referees.

Next, our Treasurer, Aine McKenna discussed the Financial Statements and a review of the 2023 / 2024 financial year. This year was another busy year for the club as the Kilmore development continued with significant completions, and there has been a considerable level of funding required for the entire project. The day to day running of the club has been continually supported by the Ciste, Lotto, match receipts and our sponsors, while the capital investment for the year and future is supported by the Cairde na Botha and grant income, and the recent Leave your Mark fundraiser. Aine praised all those involved in raising the funds for the club as this is crucial in continuing the success of the club for future generations.

Next was our Chairman Cyril McCrudden’s address. Cyril praised all our club members, players and volunteers for their hard work during the past year and congratulated them all on their successes so far. Cyril thanked all the new 2024 sub-committees, and the stewards, ground staff, Ciste, Leave your Mark and lotto groups, Cairde and the fundraising committees, the bar and social club staff, hospitality and food providers, the club shop and tuck shop, the cleaners, those who put up the bunting, the coaches, team managers, referees, and everyone else behind the scenes that make the club work so well and efficiently. Cyril thanked and praised all the teams and managements and all those involved in the parish and community that make the club work so well both on and off the field. Echoing the previous speakers Cyril praised and thanked the coaching team and officer Marc Mullen for all the successes and progression this year, and thanked families and parents of players. Cyril also thanked the cultural officer, PRO and communications committee, Field committee, development committee, Finance and fundraising committee and treasurer, secretary, cultural officer and committee, referees, development officer and committee, green committee, social club and all the events, the Kilmore hub and the work of Gareth Sherry there, and many more involved including members and supporters. Cyril paid tribute to the late and great Bernie Sherry and all the health and well being work and thanked our Main Sponsors, McMahons Centra Scotstown and other sponsors including Maguire Transport and Greenfield Foods, and all those who support the various fundraisers.

Cyril outlined the future developments in Kilmore including the car park and the Astro pitch and looked forward to another successful year in 2025 both on and off the pitch.

Well done to the team and management in their 0-19 to 0-6 win with a brilliant, accomplished performance with outstanding scores.

The Blues responded positively and in a six minute spell scored 3 more brilliant points, one each by Conor McCarthy, Jack McCarron and Shane Carey.

Scotstown GAA Senior Men win the Owen Ward Cup!!

Loughman Sports Senior Football League Final

Scotstown seniors won the league and championship double this year when they beat Ballybay in the Loughman Sports Monaghan Senior league final in Gavan Duffy park, Monaghan Harps. A large crowd attended a highly entertaining final with both sides exchanging leads on several occasions. The first half was a cagey affair with both sides taking the lead 3 times each and scoring some fine points. Ballybay were in front at half time 0-6 to 0-5. Ballybay started the second half strongly and scored a goal in the first minute. Scotstown responded positively and over the following 15 minutes scored 3 brilliant points without reply to level the score at 0-9 to 1-6. Ballybay regained the lead in the 46 ^th minute, but Scotstown responded strongly again and took the lead with 10 minutes remaining with 2 further well placed points. The last 10 minutes were tense as Ballybay sought to equalise, but the Blues defended well and added 3 more brilliant points to secure the Owen Ward cup with a scoreline of 0-14 to 1-8. Congratulations to the team and David and the management on winning the Senior League final and all the best this Sunday against Erne Gaels in the Ulster Senior Championship quarter final. Hard luck and commiserations to Ballybay GAA. Many thanks to Monaghan Harps for hosting the final.

An Bhoth GAA Club Notes 01/10/2024

Congratulations to the Under 12 Boys C Team in the U12 Division 6 league Cup win

A massive congratulations to our Under 12 Boys C team and management in their League Cup win on Saturday of last week in the final of the Under 12 League Competition Division 6 against Castleblayney in Doohamlet. Thanks to Éanna Finlay for the report below.

Scotstown Under Twelves played out a tough battle against Castleblayney in the Under Twelve Division Six final on Saturday morning in Doohamlet. Blayney started the match very strongly and only for some resolute defending from the Scotstown full backs, James Kildea and Rain O'Neill and a super save from goalkeeper, Frankie Cosgrove they would have had a few early scores on the board.

Scotstown started to settle into the game well, and 3 nice quick passing moves resulted in goals from Oliver Rooney , Matthew Lawrence and Liam Treanor to put Scotstown ahead by 3-0 to 0-1 after 15minutes. With Scotstown's midfield pair of Cillian Corrigan and Marcus Connolly doing a great job of holding Blayney's strong runners, Scotstown got a great foothold in the game and added points from Eoghan Finlay, Marcus Connolly, Oisin Finlay and Oliver Rooney to give themselves a halftime lead of 3-5 to 0-2.

Blayney as expected, came out all guns blazing at the start of the second half and got a quick goal and a couple of points to bring them back within touching distance of Scotstown. With Blayney really trying to throw everything at Scotstown, Scotstown's half back line with Gavin Treanor and Daithi McCrudden really started to have a big influence in the game. Intercepting and mopping up numerous Blayney attacks, and really starting to put Scotstown on on the front foot in the game again. With fresh legs coming on in the second half for Scotstown in the form of James Sherry James Murray, Henry Caufield, Ryan McKenna and Liam Rafferty, they added points from Ryan McQuaid and Gavin Treanor and goals from Cillian Corrigan and Oisin Finlay to give themselves some breathing space. Blayney put in another late surge towards the end of the game put Scotstown held firm to run out well deserved winners on a scoreline of 3-7 to 1-8.

There was plenty of cheering and celebrations all round as Scotstown captain James Kildea accepted the trophy from County Board officer Majella Boyd.

Big thank you to the games referee Cormac Lennon and his linesmen and the Doohamlet club for hosting the game. Team: Frankie Cosgrove; Rian O’Neill; James Kildea (C); Eoghan Finlay; Gavin Treanor; Daithi McCrudden; Marcus Connolly; Cillian Corrigan; Ryan McQuaid; Oisin Finlay; Bobby Connolly; Oliver Rooney; James Sherry; Liam Rafferty; Henry Caulfield; Ryan McKenna; James Murray; Matthew Lawrence; Caleb Mulligan; Rhys Mulligan.

An Bhoth GAA Club Notes 24/09/2024

Bernie Sherry, Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam.

It was with the deepest of sadness that we learnt of the passing of our gentle friend Bernie Sherry who passed on to her eternal rest last week. Bernie fought a tremendous battle against her illness, with a constant positive cheery outlook while continuing to help those in our community and beyond with kindness and compassion. Bernie was a great health and wellbeing officer of our club, an immense community servant, a long time supporter and volunteer of Scotstown GAA, and an outstanding ambassador through many initiatives and responsibilities Bernie diligently dedicated to our club and community. This included the exceptional Make Your Céilí work over the last eight years to tackle loneliness in our community along with proactive accomplishments during the Covid Pandemic to help alleviate hardships among the vulnerable in our community, among many more initiatives, programmes and activities. No doubt this exemplary work has helped save several lives and raised the wellbeing of many local people, as well as inspiring a multitude of others beyond our parish to help those in need in their communities through sports clubs.

Bernie was also an integral part of our Scór teams which saw several successful competition achievements. Before moving to Scotstown, Bernie played football for our neighbours Truagh Gaels where she was also a treasurer. Scotstown GAA want to send our heartfelt sympathy and sincerest condolences to the Sherry and Crush/Treanor families, during this very sad and bereaved time, to her husband, Pauric; her son, John; her daughter, Hannah; her brothers Frank, Raymond (Patricia), and Bob (Majella); her sisters Mary (Paddy) and Teresa (Damian); as well as her nieces, nephews, grandnieces, grandnephews, extended family and wide circle of friends. May Bernie's Gentle Soul Rest In Peace. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam.

The girls won 3 games out of 3 in the preliminary group and 7/7 in Division 1 proper. On Friday night it was the turn of our Division 3 team who lined out against Truagh Gaels on a sunny evening in St Mellon’s. The game matched the weather and both teams served up one of the games of the season. The Scotstown girls edged the game with a strong final quarter. It was a fitting end to a great season for the girls. Our Division 4 team finished their season with a challenge match on Saturday morning in Kilmore. Yet again this bunch of girls showed huge improvement in their performances. They were competitive throughout the season and got loads of football. It was heartening to see the girls play football with a smile on their face and with great enthusiasm and determination.

It has been a great year for U12 girls football in Scotstown. Approximately 41 girls played football throughout the year. We started in the Complex hall in February and went out on to the field in April. The girls played 25 competitive matches and trained once or twice a week depending on matches.

The development of this squad throughout 2024 has been a joy to watch. We thank the parents for their support, encouragement and commitment, we recognise that the girls could not have been brought to pitches all over the county without your time and effort.

Health and Wellbeing

Scotstown GAA continues this year with its Healthy Club project which aims to help GAA clubs explore how they support the holistic health of their members and the communities they serve.

During the winter months we renewed the Make a Ceili initiative which was launched before Christmas. Earlier in January / February saw the start of the Operation Transformation walk, the Scotstown Ladies hosted a Women’s Health talk, a drugs and Alcohol awareness workshop with our coaches, and we had several card nights throughout the winter. During May we are having a Hello How are you? Campaign.

Hello, How Are You? initiative

Hello, How Are You? is a national campaign about connection and engaging in open conversations about mental health. The Mental Health Ireland HELLO, How Are You? campaign aims to tackle the lack of connection or belonging that people experience by inspiring individuals to ask how others are feeling. This opens up a conversation to allow people to listen and encourage action by signposting to local supports and services. Please see our Social Media platforms on how we will link into this campaign which commenced on May 15th. This initiative will be ongoing over the next 2 weeks.

Monaghan GAA Annual Awards 2023

The Monaghan GAA Annual awards 2023 ceremony took place last Saturday night in the 4 Seasons Monaghan. Scotstown GAA achieved 5 Monaghan GAA Annual Awards for 2023 at December's County Convention and well done to everyone involved. Thanks to everyone involved in Monaghan GAA and the Four Seasons Hotel Monaghan for organising and hosting an amazing night of talk, music, reflection and appreciation to what was an outstanding year for Monaghan Gaelic sports. Well done to Gráinne McElwain for her excellent performance as Master of Ceremonies and local traditional band Ceolinn from Tydavnet parish for a fine start to the evening with their brilliant music.

The 5 awards were as follows; Congratulations to Rory Beggan, Senior Footballer of the Year. Since making his Monaghan debut in 2013, Rory has played over 120 consecutive league and championship games for the county, while also being an ever-present in Scotstowns championship games for more than a decade. In 2023 Rory was a consistent performer for club and county. He was central to Monaghan retaining their Division 1 status this year and in their run all the way to the All-Ireland semi-final and was an All Star nominee. He was also pivotal in Scotstown winning the Mick Duffy cup and their run to the Ulster Club final. From shot stopping, saving penalties, support play, contesting opposition kick outs, scoring from placed balls or from play, Rory has displayed a range of skills and abilities few other goalkeepers can match.

Next award; Congratulations to Conor Mc Carthy, Club Monaghan Senior Footballer of the Year. A former Ulster Minor medal winner and Sigerson Cup winner, Conor became the 10th Monaghan player to win an All Star after his performances in 2023 as the county made it to the All-Ireland Semi Final. Lining out at left-half back, he scored two second half points in the Ulster Championship win over Tyrone, 0-3 in the drawn All Ireland Group game away to Derry and 1-2 in the home victory over Clare. Monaghan supporters will long remember his brilliant winning point in the Preliminary Quarter-Final win over Kildare on a great day for Monaghan football. His form continued in Croke Park with three points in the Quarter Final win over Armagh and he gave another fully committed performance in the Semi-Final defeat against Dublin. Conor was also an important player for Scotstown as they won the Mick Duffy Cup and he got vital scores in the Ulster Club Championship.

We had 2 former Blues entering the Hall of Fame, Tom Moyna and Gerard McGuirk. Congratulations to Tom Moyna. Tom comes from a family with a long association with Scotstown and Monaghan – his father Tommy and uncle Mackey played for club and county. Tom had a successful juvenile career with Scotstown and made his way into the senior team in the mid-seventies. He gave some memorable performances when Scotstown won five Monaghan Senior football championships in a row and won three successive Ulster club titles in the late seventies. He lined out at full forward for Monaghan in 1979 when the county won the Ulster Senior Football Championship after a gap of 41 years. Tom has managed various underage teams in Scotstown and is a current Trustee of the club.

Congratulations to Gerard Mc Guirk. Gerard also comes from a family with strong Scotstown history – his father Hugh was a member of the 1960 championship winning team. Gerard was a regular on the Scotstown team that won the Ulster Club title in 1989 and won back-to-back Monaghan Senior Football titles in 1992 and 1993, winning the Man of the Match award in the 1992 drawn final.

He was a regular for Monaghan throughout the 1990’s, capable of playing in defence, midfield or attack. After retirement, Gerard got involved with management of various Scotstown teams and was a selector in 2011 when they narrowly lost the county final to Latton. Gerard’s family continue the tradition by playing for Scotstown Ladies.

To round it all off, Scotstown GAA were named Club of the Year! So well done to all our members, players, coaches and volunteers for achieving club of the year 2023!

Scotstown GAA has enjoyed another busy and fruitful year both on and off the field, and we are delighted and grateful to awarded Club of the year for 2023. Through our health and well-being initiatives and other activities in our club we continue to serve the community as community comes first. Football is nothing without the people you enjoy it with, the people to share in those moments, the people in the community. Having recently achieved the Silver Healthy Club GAA award, we are further enabled to further support the holistic health of our members and all the community that we serve. Healthy Club Initiatives and other community related activities included Operation Transformation, Make a Ceili, Nutritional talks, Scór successes, Card playing nights, table quizzes, blood pressure health checks, various charity collection events with the senior ladies, and Gaelic Mothers 4 Others. Our new Kilmore building is now open which includes community gym and meeting room facilities.

This year has been an eventful and successful year for our juveniles again following up on the recent years’ achievements. Our Minor B boys won the Division 4 League Cup and Championship Double. Our Minor A side narrowly missed out on retaining the Under 17 Division 1 League cup to a strong Castleblayney side and made the Semi Finals of the Championship. Our Under 15 B team won the Division 5B Championship and our U15 A team won the Division 1 League Shield Cup. Our Under 13 Division 6 team won the League Shield cup. Our juvenile girls had success, with the Under 16 A team winning the league Cup and Championship double and the U16B team winning the Division 2 Championship. Our Under 18 girls made the Division 1 Championship final and our Under 14 girls made the shield cup final. Our Under 15 girls won the Ulster Feile competition.

In adults, our Senior ladies won the Division 2 Reserve League cup and made steady progress in the Senior Division 1 Championship and League, losing narrowly to the Ulster champions Donaghmoyne in the Championship Semi Final. In Mens our 3 reserve teams had success with our Senior reserves retaining the O’Duffy Championship cup and our Junior Reserves winning the Division 3A League Shield Cup. Our Junior men made brilliant progress this year making the quarter final of the Junior Championship. Our Senior men qualified for their 11th Senior Championship County final in a row and won against a strong Inniskeen side to win the club’s 22nd Senior County Championship, including 8 out of the last 11 finals in a row. The Senior team went on an amazing run in the Ulster Club Championship, defeating 2021 All Ireland Champions Kilcoo in a thrilling quarter final and a strong Trillick side in a tense Semi Final before losing narrowly in a tight Final to last year’s All Ireland runners up, Glen.

It was also an amazing year in Intercounty level, with 8 of our players part of the Monaghan Senior team that went on an exceptional run to the All-Ireland Semi Final and 5 of our representatives were part of the historic Monaghan minor team that made the All-Ireland Final. Our juvenile girl representatives had success as well with the minors winning the Platinum Ulster Championship and our Under 14 girls winning the Silver Ulster championship and qualifying for the All-Ireland Final.

Well done to all our teams, management, players, members, volunteers, supporters and our community! An Bhoth Abú.

Thanks to Shane Stirrat for accepting the award and to Michael Owen McMahon for presenting some of the awards last night.

An Bhoth GAA Club Notes 12/09/2023

2023 Monaghan Club Football Championships

The 2023 Men’s Monaghan Club Championships resumed last weekend with Round 4 and the Ladies Championship Semi Finals.

Our Senior Men travelled to Donaghmoyne in the Greenfield Foods Championship Group 2 Round 4 game on a hot and sunny Saturday afternoon. This was the Senior blues third game in the championship. Well done to the Senior men in their 2-14 to 0-11 win and superb performance. The Blues started strongly and opened up a 4 point advantage with superb points by Shane Carey. Mattie Maguire, Micheal McCarville, Conor McCarthy. Ryan O’Toole, Jack McCarron and Darren Hughes (1 point each) making the score 0-7 to 0-3. Donaghmoyne reduced the margin to 2 points before an excellent point by Jason Carey made it 8 points to 5 going into injury time. Donaghmoyne scored another point and pressed on in injury before neat work by Jack McCarron at the forward corner gave Michael McCarville a clear goal opportunity but was brought down earning the Blues penalty. Jack McCarron placed the penalty perfectly into the left corner of the goal giving the Blues a 5 point advantage at half time with a score of Scotstown 1-08 Donaghmoyne 0-6. Scotstown maintained a 6 point advantage during the first 15 minutes of the second half with superb points by Ryan O’Toole, Darren Hughes and Rory Beggan making the scoreline 1-11 to 0-8. Then a superb pass by Jason Carey was brilliantly caught by James Hamill who fired the ball into the net giving the Blues the decisive winning goal. Further well placed points by Rory Beggan, Jack McCarron and James Hamill maintained Scotstown 9 point advantage and finished out the game winning 2-14 to 0-11. Well done to the team and management. They next play Clontibret in the final round robin game this Sunday 17th September at 5:00pm. Scotstown are guaranteed a quarter final place.

An Bhoth GAA Club Notes 18/07/2023

Monaghan Senior’s All Ireland Semi Final

Monaghan’s epic 2023 All Ireland journey came to a conclusion in Croke park on Saturday last with an admirable performance against a strong Dublin side in the All Ireland Semi Final. The Farney men kept track with Dublin and at times dominating possession and with 10 minutes to go were all square at 0-12 all. Unfortunately Dublin had the stronger final minutes finishing with a scoreline of 1-17 to 0-13 that in no way reflected the overall game. Well done to all the players including our own, Rory, Conor, Darren, Kieran, Jack, and Ryan with superb points from Rory (0-3, 45s) and Jack (0-1). 2023 has been an amazing year for County Monaghan with both the Senior and Minor Men reaching the Semi Final and Final of their competitions respectively, to the Hurling team for winning the Lory Meagher trophy and this week we have the Monaghan Minor girls in an LGFA All Ireland Semi Final. Well done to everyone involved in this incredible journey, from all the players and Vinnie Corey and his management team, and Dermot Malone and his management team, on both their remarkable first year’s, to everyone in Monaghan GAA, and to all the clubs in Monaghan, whose dedication for the good of the County make this such a successful football county.

Double Monaghan success in Tullamore!

All Ireland Senior County Football Championship Preliminary Quarter Final Result Monaghan 1-11 Kildare 0-13

All Ireland Minor County Football Championship Semi Final Result Monaghan 1-11 Kerry 0-11

What a day in Tullamore last Saturday as both Monaghan Senior and Minor teams pulled a remarkable feat and set themselves up in the latter stages of the All Ireland knockout stages with the Minors in the first All Ireland final to feature a Monaghan team since 1939 when Roscommon beat Monaghan in the All Ireland Minor final. The Monaghan Senior team secured a place in the All Ireland Quarter Final when Man of the Match, Conor McCarthy scored a superb calm and collected last gasp match-winner as the Farney men dug deep yet again to dramatically progress in the competition. Monaghan spent much of the game behind Kildare, despite starting strongly and taking the lead to a brilliant Conor McCarthy goal, were behind by three points with half an hour or so remaining and looked in real danger of crashing out of the Championship. But Monaghan outscored Kildare by 0-6 to 0-2 from there, firstly drawing level and then pinching a famous win with Conor McCarthy's 75th minute brilliant point. Well done to all our Blues who played, Rory Beggan, Shane Carey, Darren Hughes, Kieran Hughes, Jack McCarron, Conor McCarthy and Ryan O’Toole, with superb scores totalling 1-7 from Conor McCarthy (1-2); Jack McCarron (0-3, 1 from free); Rory Beggan (0-1f) and Darren Hughes (0-1m), and to the team and management. Monaghan have been drawn against Armagh for the All Ireland Quarter Final and it takes place this Saturday 1st July at 6:00pm in Croke Park. We wish all our Blues, the team and manager Vinnie Corey and his management team the very best.

Earlier that day in Tullamore the Monaghan Minors faced Kerry in the All Ireland Minor Championship Semi Final. The Monaghan minors played an amazing performance to secure a place in the final. The first half was a tight affair with Kerry leading be 2 points going into injury time, but an excellent, well placed 45 from Tommy Mallen resulted in an own goal to give Monaghan a 1 point advantage at half time with a score of 1-5 to 0-7. Monaghan remained in the lead throughout the second half with superb defending and 6 further points, 3 of which from Man of the Match Seán Óg McElwain. Seán held his nerve to score Monaghan’s 2 final points at the end. Well done to all our Blues who played Donnchadh Connolly, Sean Óg McElwain, Max Maguire, and Tommy Mallen with brilliant scores from Seán Óg McElwain (0-4, 2 from free, 1 from mark) and Tommy Mallen (1-1), and to the team and management. Monaghan have booked themselves in the All Ireland Minor Championship final and will play Derry in the Athletics Ground, Armagh on Sunday 9th July at 1:00pm. We wish all our Blues, the team and management the very best in the final.

Double Man of the Match awards on Saturday last in Tullamore

Massive congratulations to our double Blues' Man of the Matches, Conor McCarthy and Seán Óg McElwain! Well done lads, thoroughly deserved after outstanding performances and scores.

Scostown success at the Spraoi Scór!

Thanks to our Cultural Officer Paddy Sherlock for the following report.

Scotstown club had excellent participation in the County finals of Scór na bPaisti (spraoi scor). On Thursday night 15th June in the Iontas Centre Castleblayney, two quiz teams represented our club. Team one consisting of Daithi Og McCague, Padraig McDwyer, Cayla McGinnitty and Aoife McArdle and they took bronze behind Latton in first and Monaghan Harps in second. Our second team of Harry Casey, Ultan Gallagher, Cait Clerkin and Katie Mullen finished a point behind in fourth place. Well done to both teams!

On Friday night in Clontibret in the stage events took place. Our dancers, Leah Treanor, Nicole Bennett, Ellie Meehan, Nadine McCarra, Catherine Meehan Abi Corrigan, Joshua Mullen and Peter Mc Carra claimed gold with Gael Triucha in second and Killeevan third. The same eight dancers also won the Set dancing.

In instrumental music, our team of Mia Cusack Anne Keyes, Ellie Coney Abi Corrigan and Rachel O'connor had to be content with third place, despite giving an excellent performance, with Monaghan Harps first and Sean McDermotts second.

In Recitation Emma McKenna was an energy saving star and claimed first place with an exceptional performance of diction and action. The poem, written by Alice Daly called "The three wee Pigs" cleverly told how one could save energy and save money while building their house. The cultural officer would like to congratulate all who stepped forward to represent their club. Thanks to the coaches especially Ciara Connolly with the dancers. Nial O'connor Clare Daly and Teresa Mohan. Also to the parents for their efforts and loyalty to the promotion of Scor and Culture in our club.

All Ireland Senior County Football Championship Group Stages – Round 3 Result Monaghan 0-17 Donegal 0-19

The Monaghan Senior team played Donegal in Round 3 of Group 4 of the All Ireland Senior Football Championship on Saturday last in Healy Park, Omagh. This was the final round of the group stages and top spot in the group was up for grabs if the Farney men defeated Donegal by more points than Derry defeating Clare. Despite a strong comeback in the later part of the second half Monaghan couldn’t overturn a 6 point margin Donegal created by the start of the Second half. Hard luck to the team and management but well done in their fortitude and resilience to nearly tie the game at the end. Well done to our Blues that played Rory Beggan, Shane Carey, Darren Hughes, Kieran Hughes, Jack McCarron, Conor McCarthy and Ryan O’Toole, with superb scores by Jack McCarron (top scorer with 0-5, 3 from free, 1 from mark), and Darren Hughes (0-2).

Monaghan have finished 3rd in the group on 3 points. The top three in each group advance to the knockout stages; first-place teams to the All-Ireland quarter-finals, and second- and third-placed teams to the preliminary quarter-finals. The four second-placed teams play against the third-placed teams in the preliminary quarter-finals. The winners of the preliminary quarter-finals advance to play the group winners in the All-Ireland quarter-finals. Two semi-finals and a final follow. All matches are knock-out. Monaghan were drawn to play Kildare away in the preliminary Quarter Final.

Health and Wellbeing

Scotstown GAA continues this year with its Healthy Club project which aims to help GAA clubs explore how they support the holistic health of their members and the communities they serve. We recently had nutritional talks for our U13 to U16 boys and girls’ players and parents. As we now enter the summer months and the football is up and running, we will be implementing Healthy initiatives soon and will update everyone as these happen.

Mental Health Awareness

While summer and lots of football lift our spirits and emotional wellbeing, mental health issues and trauma can remain, and this can still be a difficult time for many people for several reasons. Please see our Social Media posts for helpful numbers and contacts. There is help out there for those who are struggling during this time. Considerably linked to mental health is the need to raise awareness of the ongoing struggles against violence including domestic violence, and to breakdown the stigma victims have in seeking help and support. Help and support is there for those suffering under physical, sexual and emotional abuse.

Organisations and contact numbers for both women and men are listed below and contact numbers for local mental health supports are featured on the Social Media posts, and has stated by the Ulster GAA last week “we encourage and support anyone who has been a victim of such abuse not to suffer in silence but to avail of the statutory and voluntary support services that are available in the community.”

An Bhoth GAA Club Notes. 18/04/2023

Ulster Senior County Football Championship Quarter Final Result – Monaghan 2-17 Tyrone 1-18

Monaghan secured an Ulster Semi Final spot with an incredible win against Tyrone away in Omagh on a balmy beautiful spring Sunday. What was surely one of the most entertaining end to end nerve wrecking intercounty games in recent times, ended with Ryan O’Toole scoring an astonishing last minute decisive winning goal, deep in injury time. The Farney men were down by 6 points at one stage towards the end of the first half, but responded strongly in the second half with an almighty comeback against the 2021 All Ireland Champions. Well done to all the Monaghan players, manager Vinny Corey and his management team in this amazing victory. Congratulations to all our Blues who played and put it such an immense effort with some superb scoring including Ryan O’Toole (1-1), Conor McCarthy & Jack McCarron (2 points each), Rory Beggan (with superb keeping and accurate distribution of passing including for Carrick Emmet’s Stephen O’Hanlon’s superb goal), Darren Hughes (another fine high work rate game) and our 2 Blues subs who made a remarkable impact in the second half with an outstanding performance, Shane Carey (0-1) and Kieran Hughes. Ryan O’Toole’s audacious, nerveless and courageous goal in the final minute has been well lauded in the national media over the past week and deservedly so. Well done Ryan, the vast majority of players would have fisted the point looking for the equaliser to take the game into extra time, but Ryan’s quick thinking brought the victory with distinguished self-belief and courage.

Monaghan next play the current Ulster champions Derry in the Ulster Championship Semi Final on Saturday 29th April at 5:00pm. Venue TBC. All the best to our Blues on the County panel, Rory Beggan, Shane Carey, Darren Hughes, Kieran Hughes, Jack McCarron, Conor McCarthy, Michael McCarville, and Ryan O’Toole, and the rest of the Monaghan team, and the management. You can get your tickets in McMahons Centra Scotstown.

Congratulations to Rory Beggan, Conor McCarthy and Ryan O’Toole for making the GAA Team of the Week.

Massive congratulations to 3 of our Blues for making the GAA Team of the week after the superb performance by Monaghan against Tyrone yesterday. Well done to Rory Beggan, Conor McCarthy and Ryan O’Toole whose astonishing last gasp goal won the game. Also congratulations to Clontibret’s Conor McManus and Tyholland’s Karl O’Connell for also making the GAA Team of the week.

Our Blues Competitive Games in the past week

Under 13s

Round 2 of the Spring League was played in terrible weather conditions on Saturday last with high winds and heavy rain persistent throughout the fixture, leaving ball handling and underfoot conditions very challenging. Our Scotstown B team played Magheracloone and credit to both teams in providing a very competitive game. Scotstown were very wasteful in front of goals in a dominant first half with Shane McKenna scoring the Scotstown goal. Magheracloone came into the game in a more evenly balanced 2nd half. Scotstown led from start to finish with a final score of 1-9 to 1-3. Our Scotstown A team also faced Magheracloone and they were very dominant throughout the first half scoring 2 - 10 to 1 - 1. Scotstown had a great second half scoring 1 -3 and keeping Magheracloone to only 1 point, but unfortunately lost 2-11 to 2-4. Well done to our Scotstown C Team who beat Donaghmoyne away 5-7 to 3-11 and hard luck to our Scotstown D team who lost at home to Magheracloone 1-8 to 0-6.

Monaghan secured their Allianz NFL Division One status for the 10th year in a row with an amazing win away to Mayo in an epic game of football in a sun-drenched Castlebar. Monaghan had led for most of the game, with Mayo only managing to level the score on three occasions.

Mayo made a comeback in the second half, but Monaghan finished the stronger, as Conor McCarthy put their noses in front after 67 minutes with a wonderful point from range. Clontibret’s Conor McManus edged the Farney men in front further with a converted penalty and 2 points from marks making the final score 2-14 to 0-14. Well done to Jack McCarron who also scored 3 superb points (1 from play, 1 mark, 1 free). With Armagh losing to Tyrone, Monaghan remain in Division 1. Well done to all the players and management for giving it all and providing such a fine spectacle of football.

Scór na nÓg County Finals

The Scór na nÓg County Finals were held last weekend. Thanks to our Cultural Officer Paddy Sherlock for the following report.

There was excellent representation from our club at the Scor na nog County finals last weekend. On a snowy Friday night in Newbliss our quiz team of Eanna Mc Carey, Annie Mc Ginnity, Conor McMeel and Trea McKenna put in super showing only to lose out to Clontibret in a tie breaker. On Sunday evening in the stage events in Clontibret there were excellent performances from our representatives in the various disciplines of Scor. Pride of place goes to coach Ciara Connolly and her dancing team who won the figure dancing. Congratulations and well done to Rhianna Mullen, Aoife Mc Dermott, Kate McKenna and Aimee Connolly.

In solo singing, Leah McDonald gave a strong rendition of 'Erin's lovely Lee' but lost out to Dearbhla Marron of Harps. Hannah Sherry gave a confident performance in recitation with Three little pigs (written by Ballinode's Alice Daly) but lost out to Harps Saorlaith McKenna. In Novelty act our players Jack McCarra, Eanna McCarey, Hanna Sherry along with Hollie and Ben Mullen gave a confident and witty showing but finished second to neighbours Truagh. In instrumental music, probably the closest competition of the evening our musicians of Jake Corrigan, Emma McCague, Brannagh Connolly with Patrick and Caoimhe Treanor lost out to the Harps. It had to be close. All in all an excellent showing by our young performers. Our culture is alive and thriving in the club. Thanks to all parents, coaches and supporters who helped in any way to ensure such a great entry from our club in the finals. Thanks to County chairman Noel Flood and his committee for their work and dedication to ensure the finals went smoothly. Best wishes to each and every competitor in the Ulster semi finals in Lisnaskea on Saturday 25th March. An Bhoth abu.

Health and Wellbeing

With Christmas over and, we enter a new year this is the time of year for the “Make your Céili” community initiative which combats loneliness and rural isolation. This has been a successful initiative aimed at encouraging people to visit a neighbour who may be lonely or suffering from rural isolation. So please over the next few months call in on people who may be suffering from loneliness, and please keep in mind the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic and take the necessary precautions. For those who are still nervous of physical visits given the ongoing Pandemic, we can still make contact with those we care about and / or are cocooning, living alone or vulnerable. They would really appreciate a phone call, letter or card just to say "I'm thinking about you, keep safe and stay strong." So please, Make a Ceili, Phone a Ceili, write a Letter, send a Card and keep in touch over the winter months and we are always here to help in anyway.

As well as our physical health, our emotional wellbeing and mental health is also highly important. In these current circumstances, it is important to remember that the community supports and services are still operating. Your GP is your first point of contact in relation to both physical and mental health needs. If you, or someone you know is in crisis, contact your GP or Doc on Call on 1850 777 911, or if you are really concerned go to the Emergency Department in Cavan General Hospital.

We wish all our members, players, volunteers, patrons and our community a very Happy Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous New Year. Well done to everyone involved in our activities and events during 2022, which was one of our most successful years particularly in juvenile level.

Ulster Minor Club Football Tournament Quarter Final result – Scotstown 1-9 Donaghmore 1-12

The Scotstown Minors played Donaghmore GAA in the Ulster Minor Club St Paul’s Tournament on Saturday last in Colaiste Feirste, Belfast. Hard luck to our minor Blues and management who narrowly lost the game. The lads played magnificently and lost to a strong Donaghmore side. However they had an amazing season where collectively the teams won all 4 county trophies and well done to the teams and management on all the success. Congratulations to Donaghmore GAA and all the best in their semi-final. Thanks to St Pauls GAA for superbly organising and hosting the tournament and thanks to Colaiste Feirste for superbly hosting the quarter final game. Many thanks to the tremendous support and turnout by our Blues fans, you did our club proud as well as the minor team and management. We wish Sahil Arya a speedy recovery. Thanks to Brian McKee from the Saffron Gael for the following match report.

Both teams brought a large crowd of travelling supporters to Colaiste Feirste on a cold Saturday evening. They witnessed an entertaining game that saw Domhnach Mór achieve a three point win over An Bhoth, Scotstown in a close encounter that came alive in the second half.

Despite opening pressure from Donaghmore, it was the lads from Scotstown who took an early lead through a point from Sean Og McElwain. A subsequent promising attack from Scotstown was cut out by Donaghmore keeper Cormac Draine, and his quick thinking led to a counter attack by Donaghmore with an opening point from Ronan Molloy. Further points from Noah Grimes and Aodhan Molloy pushed the Tyrone boys ahead. While Donaghmore were dominating the opening 20 minutes, Scotstown came back strongly with three points from Sean Og McElwain. The first half came to a close with both sides adding on a point apiece to leave the score at 1-5 to 0-5 as the lads headed to the welcome warmth of the changing rooms.

The second half began with both sides missing good opportunities to add to their scores, but on the sixth minute Tommy Mallon slotted over the first of two consecutive points to start putting what became increasing pressure on Scotstown. Noah Grimes added a point for Donaghmore but a goal from Adam Monahan saw the Scotstown team regain the lead.

Grimes (Donaghmore) brought the sides level with a further point in a game in which both sides pressed hard for supremacy. McElwain (Scotstown) and Clarke (Donaghmore) exchanged points as the temperature rose in an increasingly tense game. Monahan added a further point for Scotstown but it was the ever dangerous Grimes who established superiority for the lads from Donaghmore with four further points that saw them into the semi-final against Four Masters on St Stephen’s Day.

Scotstown: Fintan Foy (0-1), Sean Og McElwain (0-5), Max Maguire (0-1), Tommy Mallen (0-2), Adam Monahan (1-0),

Donaghmore: Cormac Draine (1-1), Ronan Molloy (0-1), Noah Grimes (0-8), Aodhan Molloy (0-1) Joey Clarke (0-1),

Scotstown: Domhnaill Moyna, Conall Gallagher, Donnadh Connolly, Oisin Murray, Nicky Sherlock, Caolium Mullen, Bobby Boylan, Reuban Sheridan, Sahil Arya, Max Maguire, Tommy Mallen, Shea Beggan, Adam Monaghan, Finlay Foy, Sean Og McElwain

Subs: Jimmy mcKenna, Aaron McQuaid, Daniel Prunty, James Brady, Seamie McKenna

Donaghmore: Conan McGarvey, Conaill McGee, Ben Hughes, Jude McNally, Rory McGee, Joey Clarke, Joseph Kelly, Johnny McKenna, Conor O’Neill, Aodhan Molloy, Cormac Draine, Conall Herron, Noah Grimes, Ronan Molloy, James McCann

Subs: Ryan McAteer, Ronan McGeary, Caolan Quinn, Ciaran Hackett, Michael Logan

Scotstown GAA Club Notes 13/12/2022

An Bhoth GAA Club Notes. 13/12/2022

We say goodbye to Tommy

It is with a heavy heart and our sincerest sympathies that we observe the passing of our former player, committee member, trustee and honorary club member Tommy Moyna. Tommy was considerably instrumental in the shape and successes of our Club as we know it today. Tommy along with his twin brother Mackie (R.I.P., pictured on the left below, Tommy on the right) began playing for the former senior Scotstown village team in 1945 and was influential as a key player during the current club’s formation from the 1950s, where we won our first senior county championships in 1960 and 1961, and was also actively involved in the purchase and development of Páirc Mhuire in Scotstown in 1954. Tommy was exceptionally involved in our club from that time as player, committee member and trustee and was diligently involved in the Kilmore training grounds development several decades later in 1995, which were a significant factor in the successes of our current seniors over the past 10 years.

During his time player Tommy was involved in the Offaly minor team of the late 1940s, where he spent 3 years before returning to Scotstown. During his time in Offaly he was inspired by the carnival in Clara to develop a carnival in Scotstown which became a huge success for the village during the 1960s and 1970s with some of the most renowned showbands of the time playing. Tommy also was an illustrious minor and senior county football player and played for the 1945 minor championship Ulster winning team, and also well known and highly regarded as a local publican. Both his on-field and off-field commitment, dedication and professionalism made a significant contribution to success and achievements of our club.

Predeceased by his wife Sheila and his son John. We would like to pass on our sincerest sympathy and deepest condolences to his daughter Fionnuala, sons Tom, Domhnall, Niall, Michael and David, grandchildren Caoimhe, Deirdre, Sean, Conor, Ciara, Kate, Tommy, Ruairi, Alex, Tristian, Domhnall, Tobias, and Marcus, son in law, John, daughters in law, Eilish, Anne Marie, Helle, Treacy, his extended family and wide circle of friends. May Tommy’s gentle soul Rest In Peace. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

Tommy will be resting at his home in Scotstown. Removal Thursday 15th, to St Mary's Church, Urbleshanny, Scotstown, arriving for 11:00am Funeral Mass, followed by burial afterwards in the adjoining cemetery. Tommy's funeral Mass can be viewed via the facebook link https://www.facebook.com/Tydavnet-Parish-RC-Churches-110743170561975/

Scotstown GAA Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting of Scotstown GAA took place on Friday last, December 2nd in the Complex. The minutes of last year’s minutes was read before a comprehensive report by the Youth Officer Cian Mohan was given detailing the activities of all the juvenile boys’ and girls’ teams. This was another hugely successful year for the juveniles culminating in an exceptional 11 trophy successes during 2022, including the U14 Girls Double Double, U18 Division 2 Championship, U17 Boys double double, the U13 Division 1 championship and the Under 15 Division 5 league cup shield. Cian thanked all those involved in facilitating this successful year.

Our Cultural Officer, Paddy Sherlock, reflected over another busy and successful year for the club in Cultural activities. the Scór na nog competitions in March, April and May, our Scor na Og quiz team won the county and Ulster championship and represented Monaghan in the All Ireland Finals. Our Scor na Og novelty act 2022 acornlife won the county championship. In September and October we had Scór Sinsir County and Ulster Competitions. Paddy Sherlock won the Scór recitation county final. The Novelty act crew finished a strong second and the rest of our representatives in singing, and solo singing finished strongly as well with superb performances. Well done to our Tráth Na gCeist 22 team, Colm and Martha Mc Kenna Shane Feeny and Damian Mohen, who finished 3rd, just narrowly after Latton and Monaghan Harps who finished level and had to go to a tiebreak. Well done to all our representatives this year. Paddy also thanked Pauline Rooney for her weekly Irish classes in the complex. Paddy also thanked other club officials and everyone else in the club for their assistance.

Our Secretary, Sean McGovern, detailed an extensive outline of the football review of 2022, mainly the adult teams. This was also a brilliant year for the adults with the ladies playing at Senior level for the first time in 20 years and won several key games to secure top flight football in 2023. The Senior Men won their 25th senior football league title and qualified for their 10th senior football championship final in a row but lost to Ballybay in the final. Sean thanked the management team who stepped down and welcomed in our new senior football manager David McCague and his management team. The Junior team had a successful year making great progress and qualifying for the quarter finals in the Junior league and the semi final in the Junior Championship. The senior reserves also had success clinching the O’Duffy cup and the Junior Reserves won the League Cup shield. Sean thanked everyone involved in the successful 2022 season. After 6 years as our secretary Sean is stepping down from his position. We thank Sean for all his hard and diligent work and for advancing the club forward through a successful period in the club’s history.

A report by our Health and Wellbeing officer, Bernie Sherry, detailed a busy year for the club in helping the community during the ongoing pandemic. The club achieved the Healthy Club position which aims to help GAA clubs explore how they support the holistic health of their members and the communities they serve. The Make a Ceili initiative is back this Winter and she urged club members to get involved. Many events happened over the year including; Operation Transformation 2022 Ireland Lights Up Walk at Kilmore; Information Session on Resilience by Miffy Hoad; Match Day Health Check at home league game against Truagh; and awarded the Covid Volunteer Award. Bernie thanked the club and those involved in assisting the health and wellbeing throughout the past year, including the communications of the community activities and the games and also Alice Daly from Tydavnet News for linking into the dissemination of community events from the club.

Our Treasurer, Aine McKenna discussed the Financial Statements and a review of the 2021 / 2022 financial year. Despite the pandemic, 2022 was a busy year for the club as the Kilmore development commenced and required a considerable level of funding for its completion, which is estimated in the new year. The day to day running of the club has been continually supported by the Ciste, Lotto, match receipts and our sponsors, while the capital investment for the year and future is supported by the Cairde na Botha and grant income. Aine praised all those involved in raising the funds for the club as this is crucial in continuing the success of the club for future generations.

Next was our Chairman Shane Stirrat’s address. Shane gave his condolences to the McCague family on the sad passing of Seán. Shane praised all our club members, players and volunteers for their hard work during the past year. Shane thanked all the 2022 committees, and the stewards, ground staff, Ciste and lotto groups, Cairde and the fundraising committees, the club shop and tuck shop, the cleaners, those who put up the bunting, the coaches, team managers and everyone else behind the scenes that make the club work so well and efficiently. He thanked those who have stepped back from the committee in the past year for all their work and efforts including Sean McGovern who he praised for this outstanding work for the past 6 years as Secretary. He praised those involved in the development of the club, creating a roadmap for the Kilmore development and all those involved in putting us in a strong financial position with successful events including the recent Cairde initiative.

Next was the election of officers. The election of officers was not necessary, as none of the officer roles were contested on the night. The officers of Scotstown GAA for the coming year are: Chairperson: Shane Stirrat; Vice-Chairperson: Cyril McCrudden; Assistant Secretary; Pauline Keenan; Assistant Secretary non Football; Sean McGovern; Treasurer: Aine McKenna; Assistant Treasurer: Martin Connolly; Public Relations Officer: Padraig Columb; Youth Officer: Cian Mohan; Coaching Officer: Paraic Duffy; Cultural Officer: Paddy Sherlock; Development Officer: Stephen McKenna; Registrar: Damian Mohan; County Board Delegate: Sean Murphy; Health & Wellbeing Officer: Bernie Sherry; Players’ Representatives: To be chosen by the players; Groundsman: Frank McKenna.

A letter of thanks from the McCague family for gratitude and appreciation for all the members and volunteers from Scotstown GAA who helped out in the funeral arrangements for the late Seán McCague.

Our thanks to Sean McGovern

After 6 years as secretary of our club, Sean McGovern is stepping down. During that time the club has progressed impressively with both on-field successes, in adult and juvenile, and off-field with initiatives such as the new Kilmore development. Such progression brought significant demands to a secretary, but Sean managed his role in a highly professional, dignified and resourceful manner throughout this time, and was always available when need be. We wish Sean all the best in his bright future and in his new role with our club as assistant secretary non football.

Vote of Sympathy

The following votes of sympathy were passed at the AGM.

Brennan Family on the death of Patricia

McCague Family on the death of Seán

Stevely Family on the death of Peggy

We would like to offer our condolences to all the family and friends who lost loved ones during this time.

Scotstown Ladies Shoe Box Appeal

A big thank you to our Senior Ladies who kindly donated and dedicated their time yesterday evening, and prepared 37 Christmas shoe boxes, in the Shoe Box Appeal for Christmas.

They welcomed Diana from Feed Our Homeless who will help distribute these boxes to those in need this Christmas. Somethings as small as hats, gloves and socks can be extremely meaningful to someone who unfortunately may not have the comfort of a warm home. A massive well done to everyone involved in their efforts, donations, gifts etc. in the shoebox appeal with 37 boxes wrapped & some extra bits were donated (ran out of boxes!).

What a wonderful and kind initiative the Scotstown Ladies have done for those in need. Edel & Diana who run the shoebox want to say a massive thank you to everyone & that the shoeboxes will be delivered to the homeless over the last weekend. Feed our Homeless will give us a shout out when they are delivered. Thanks again to our Ladies team and to Murray Excel Ltd. for donated items for the boxes.

David McCague is appointed our new Seniors Manager

We are delighted to announce David McCague as the new Scotstown Senior team manager. David was part of the Monaghan Minors management that won the Ulster title in 2018 and later served as coach with the County seniors. A former player for Scotstown, David brings a wealth of experience for the management role. We are also delighted to announce and welcome former player and Scotstown and County legend Fergus Caulfield, and Peter Donnolly as part of the management team and we are delighted that Diarmuid Scullion remains on the management team. All the best to the new management team and our Senior Blues in the years ahead.

Our thanks to Kevin Boylan

Kevin Boylan has stepped down from our Seniors management team. Kevin was part of the management team under Colin McAree from 2022 to October last. During that time the Senior Football team regained the Monaghan Senior Club Football Championship in 2020 and in 2021 club to retain the Mick Duffy cup securing the 21st County Championship win for our club. Also in 2021 Scotstown won the league and championship cup double for the first time since 2015, when we won the Owen Ward cup. This year the team achieved an incredible 10th final in the row but lost to a strong Ballybay side but managed to win the Senior League and retain the Owen Ward trophy. We would like to thank Kevin for all his hard work, diligence and dedication to our club and for being a considerable part of the club’s success. We hope he can enjoy the senior team play in relatively more relaxed circumstances in the future!

Scotstown GAA Club Notes 29/11/2022

Tue, 29 Nov 2022 14:25:16 GMT

An Bhoth GAA Club Notes. 29/11/2022

We bid farewell to Seán

It is with deep sadness and our sincerest sympathies that we observe the passing of our former manager and honorary club member Seán McCague. In his renowned, and long illustrious career, Seán was the first Monaghan man to take up the position of GAA President from 2000 to 2003 and played a key role in securing funding for the redevelopment of Croke Park.

Seán was a lifelong member and supporter of our club and he managed the Scotstown GAA senior team to the Monaghan Championship in 1974 to end a 13-year wait for the title and three years later he was in charge of the Monaghan GAA County Senior team. In 1979 he guided the County team to win the Ulster Senior Championship for the first time in 41 years. In 1985 another Anglo Celt title and a National League crown was achieved under Sean’s management, the only time Monaghan won the National League title. That same year Monaghan went on to come very close to a huge upset in the All-Ireland semi-final by drawing with Mick O’Dwyer’s Kerry but they lost the replay.

Sean followed up in 1988 with his 3rd Ulster Senior Championship win as manager of the Monaghan County team. Sean, who also acted as a referee, was Ireland assistant manager to Eugene McGee for the International Rules series meetings in 1987 and 1990. He served as Monaghan secretary and Ulster Council delegate for his county, while he was also an influential chairman of the old Games Administration Committee during Peter Quinn's presidency.

Sean was also instrumental in acquiring Kilmore in the 1990s and the driving force behind the Scotstown Complex during the 1980s. He was the former Principal of Urbleshanny in Scotstown and Scoil Mhuire in Monaghan, Sean was always at the helm of our association both locally at club and county level, and nationally, and will be sadly missed by all of us.

We would like to pass on our sincerest sympathy and deepest condolences to his wife Bernie, daughters Paula (Keith Mc Gonnell), Nuala (Declan Symth), Martha (Colm Mac Cinna), Freda and Emma (Colm Flanagan), grandchildren Cian, Tiarnán, Aideen, Aoife, Jarlath, Briana, Trea, Seán, Aifric, Diarmuid, Conor and Nessa, sisters, Margaret Mary (Mangan), Rosemary (Manley) Frances (Martin),brothers Hugh, Eugene, Rev Brendan and Gerard, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, extended family, neighbours. many friends and by all who knew and loved Sean. May Sean’s gentle soul Rest In Peace.

Slán le Seán

Is le briseadh croí a fhágaimid slán len ár gcara buan Seán MacThaidhg a d’oibrigh go dícheallach ar son Club na Botha agus ar son Chumann Lúthchleas Gaeil i gcoitinne, ar fud na tire agus thar lear. B’eisean an chéad fhear ó Chontae Mhuineacháin a toghadh mar Uachtarán ar an gcumann. Bhí sé ina uachtarán ón bhliain 2000 go dtí 2003.

Bhí Seán Mac Thaidhg lárnach do fhorbairt Pháirc an Chrócaigh nuair a bhí athnuachan á dhéanamh ar fód na páirce agus ar an staid. In éineacht leis an gcoiste forbartha d’éirigh leo an clár oibre a bhí leaghtha amach acu a chríochnú.

Chaith Seán a shaol ag cur cúrsaí Chlub na Botha chun cinn. Bhí sé ina imreoir peile agus é ina dhéagóir. Ach bhí air éirí as de bharr gortú fad-théarmach. Dhírigh sé ar bhainistíocht foirne agus b’eisean an bainisteoir nuair a bhuaigh foireann na Botha Craobh Peil Sinsir Mhuineacháin i 1974-an chéad bua craoibhe ó 1961. I 1977 bhí sé ina bhainisteoir ar fhoireann peil sinsir an chontae agus san ré órga ó 1979 go 1988, nuair a bhuaigh siad Craobh Peil Sinsir Uladh trí uair. Ní dhéanfar dearmad go deo ar 1985 nuair a bhuaigh Muineachán an Comórtas Sraith Peile agus an cluiche ceannais in aghaidh Ard Mhacha. Níor bhuaidh Muineachán an sraith roimhe sin nó ó shoin. Níos déanaí, i samhradh 1985, chríochnaigh siad ar chomh-scór le Ciarraí i gcluiche leath-ceannais na craoibhe.

Seachas bheith ina réiteoir ó am go h-am, bhí Seán ina chúntóir le Eoghan Mag Aodha nuair a bhí na cluichí idirnáisiúnta á imirt in aghaidh na h-Astráile i 1987 agus 1990.

Bhí Seán, ar feadh na blianta, ina rúnaí ar Bhord Chontae Mhuineacháin agus ina theachta chuig Chomhairle Uladh agus bhí cúraimí thar an ghnách aige freisin nuair a bhí Peadar Ó Cuinn ina uachtarán.

Maidir le cúrsaí Club na Botha ba é Seán MacThaidhg an treoraí nuair a bhí na forbairtí móra ar siúl ins na h-ochtódaí agus na nóchadaí, nuair a bhí an Spórtlann á thógaint agus seilbh á nglacadh ar an bpáirc nua i gCoill Mhór.

Bhí Seán ina iar-phríomhoide ar Scoil Náisiúnta Iorball Sionnaigh agus Bunscoil na mBuachaillí i Muineachán. Rinne sé a dhícheall ar son na bpáistí agus ar son an phobail pé áit in ar oibrigh sé, agus ní dhéanfar dearmad go deo ar sin. Méala mór é don phobal i gcoitinne agus go h-áirithe dona chlann bás Sheáin. Go ndéana Dia trócaire ar a anam.

Gabhaimid comhbhrón le Bernie bean chéile Sheáin agus a iníonacha:

Paula ( NicConaill), Nuala (Nic Gabhann), Freda, Marta (NicCinna) agus Emma (Ní Fhlannagáin);

Lena dheartháireacha agus a dheirfiúracha Aodh, Máiréad (Ní Mhongáin), Eoghan, an t-Athair Breandán, Róis Máire (Ní Mhaonghile ), Gearóid, Proinnsias (Ní Mháirtín) agus a gcéilí.

Comhbhrón freisin leis na gar-pháistí Cian, Tiarnán, Éadaoin, Aoife, Iarlaith, Briana, Trea, Seán, Aifric, Diarmuid, Conchúr agus Neasa.

Thanks to our members and volunteers for their help

Well done to everyone involved from our club in the assistance to the McCague family in Seán’s funeral arrangements over the course of Friday and Saturday last.

past, such as the Scotstown Carnival in the 1960s to the purchase of our main field at

Urbleshanny,

The Lord Mayor Campaign in the 1980s to fund the building of Sportlann Mhuire (the

complex) and development of St. Marys Park and indeed, the ambitious purchase Of

for this generation and the next into the future. Fully paid up Members of Cairde Na Botha

will have the benefit of their name engraved on the supporters’ wall at the Kilmore training

grounds.

Health and Wellbeing

With the clock gone back an hour and the dark evenings and winter setting in, this is the time

of year for the “Make your Céili” community initiative which combats loneliness and rural

isolation. This has been a successful initiative aimed at encouraging people to visit a

neighbour who may be lonely or suffering from rural isolation. So please over the next few

months call in on people who may be suffering from loneliness, and please keep in mind the

ongoing Covid 19 pandemic and take the necessary precautions. For those who are still

nervous of physical visits given the ongoing Pandemic, we can still make contact with those

we care about and / or are cocooning, living alone or vulnerable. They would really

appreciate a phone call, letter or card just to say "I'm thinking about you, keep safe and stay

strong." So please, Make a Ceili, Phone a Ceili, write a Letter, send a Card and keep in

touch over the winter months and we are always here to help in anyway.
