Monaghan entering unknown territory - Conor McManus

Monaghan's All Star forward Conor McManus says the Farney County is entering unknown territory as they prepare to begin the defence of the Ulster SFC title they won last July.

McManus says the Monaghan squad are not looking beyond a potential quarter-final against Down or Tyrone, but were boosted by their Football League Division Two final win over Donegal.

He believes Cavan's run of four consecutive Ulster Under-21 Football titles makes them dark horses for this year's championship.
