Guess who for Derry

It is double figures for Shane Mc Guigan as he now has 5 from play and 5 from frees. Maybe Mickey Harte will have some sympanthy for Monaghan and now take the full forward off.

Tough opening round of games

It must be noted that it was always going to be a tough opening 3 games for Monaghan. They faced the All Ireland champions, the All Ireland runners up and the All Ireland semi finalists in Dublin, Kerry and Derry. With all 3 teams also provincial champions, so to have taken 2 points from those 3 games with a number of the more experienced players due to return is not bad. Just a pity that that the 2 defeats have been so heavy

Jack Mc Carron with another one

There you go again - Derry another point

Fergal Monaghan on commentary describes it as "Relentless" and it truely is. Monaghan with a point and Derry just go up the other end and cance it out. It has been some start for the Mickey Harte era in the Oakleaf county as they are unbeaten this year and look good for the league title already

Full time - Big Derry win

It is over 

Derry make it 3 from 3 with a comfortable win over Monaghan in Celtic Park

Safe journey home to all supporters 

Next up for Monaghan is a trip away to Roscommon.

That game is now a must win.
