    "It's because of the heat on days like this and the amount of ground the players are covering that county squads are training five nights a week. There are lulls in the game because the players are fairly exhausted already."

  4. Scoring lullpublished at 14:25 British Summer Time 19 July 2015

    No scores for nearly 10 minutes. Play has become rather pedestrian or in modern parlance, 'lateral'.

  5. Conor McManus takes a hitpublished at 14:22 British Summer Time 19 July 2015

    The former Monaghan All-Star appears to be third-man tackled by Michael Murphy and ends up face down on the ground. After play is stopped, there is a bit of pushing and shoving between the players but referee Coldrick takes no action.

  6. Michael Murphy subdued so farpublished at 14:19 British Summer Time 19 July 2015

    Vinny Corey is doing his job for Monaghan. Donegal's talisman and skipper Murphy has barely touched the ball to date in this game.

  7. Donegal 0-03 0-03 Monaghanpublished at 14:15 British Summer Time 19 July 2015

    Conor McManus levels with a 21-metre free but it could have been worse for Donegal as keeper Paul Durcan made a great save to deny Dermot Malone's goal chance before handling the ball on the ground.

  8. Yellow cardpublished at 14:14 British Summer Time 19 July 2015

    Donegal half-back Frank McGlynn is booked after a challenge on Vinny Corey but Conor McManus missed the resulting Monaghan free. The holders still 0-3 to 0-2 ahead.

  9. McBrearty is a shining star for Donegalpublished at 14:11 British Summer Time 19 July 2015

    "Patrick McBrearty is probably the most exciting young player in Ulster at the moment. He tries things that most other players don't."

  10. Donegal 0-03 0-02 Monaghanpublished at 14:10 British Summer Time 19 July 2015

    Monaghan defender Karl O'Connell bombs forward in typical fashion to stroke over another Farney point.

    Paddy McBrearty kicks Donegal ahead after 80 seconds and Karl Lacey doubles their advantage before I can finish my sentence. St Tiernach's Park is bathed in sunshine as the game starts.

  14. Championship pundits divided on outcomepublished at 13:59 British Summer Time 19 July 2015

    Former Tyrone player Philip Jordan predicts a Monaghan win, Oisin McConville thinks Donegal will prevail. And wait for it...Martin McHugh believes Monaghan may sneak it but he hopes he is wrong!

    "David Coldrick is one of the best referees in the game but he does award a lot of frees. Discipline is going to be important."

    Tiernan Flanagan's goal late in the first half helped Derry clinch a 13th Ulster Minor Football title as they edged out Cavan 1-11 to 0-11 in the Clones curtain-raiser.

    Cavan did have a big penalty shout turned down in the second half but Derry were the better side and deserved their victory.
