Monaghan manager Vinny Corey expresses his devastation as midfielder Darren Hughes is stretchered off the pitch with a serious leg injury. Despite the loss, Corey hopes that Hughes' injury is not severe. Corey also explains the decision to recall Rory Beggan as the goalkeeper due to the team's defensive struggles.
MONAGHAN MANAGER VINNY Corey said the sight of midfielder Darren Hughes being stretchered off the Clones pitch was ‘devastating’.
Asked how long he could count on the Scotstown man, he answered, “It’s one of those situations, we never had it before so we are just going to have to manage it week by week until the situation might change.” Star of the game was Paddy Lynch with a 1-9 haul. His talents are well signposted, but his ability to kick eight scores from eight dead balls, either side of the goals, was phenomenal.

Rory Beggan returns to Monaghan squad after NFL trialsRory Beggan could come into the mix for Monaghan’s Ulster Championship opener against Cavan this weekend after returning from NFL trials and training in America. The Scotstown man is believed to have been involved over the weekend as Vinny Corey’s men hone their preparations for the provincial preliminary round encounter at Clones this Sunday. All Star keeper Beggan, who turns 32 next week, didn’t feature during the League as he attempted to win a place on the roster of an American football side as a kicker. He took part in an NFL combine in Indianapolis at the end of February, before going for further training, but has yet to be offered a contract. Beggan could yet be snapped up by an NFL side over the coming months, but for now his return to the Monaghan squad is a huge boost for the side.
