  1. Fermanagh spare Ulster blushes

    After the disappointing defeats suffered by Down and Antrim earlier in the day, Fermanagh spare Ulster's blushes in the football qualifiers as they edge out Wexford 0-19 to 1-11.

  2. Tommy Bowe backing his native Monaghan

    Ireland and Ulster rugby star Tommy Bowe sends a good luck message to his countymen. Tommy hails from the village of Emyvale.

  4. Donegal beat Farney men in minor clash

    Donegal win the curtain-raiser at Breffni Park on a 3-15 2-12 scoreline. Well done to them.

  5. Ready for Ulster's annual arm wrestle?

    So after the Ulster Football Championship finally served up a contest last weekend, we have the province's now seemingly annual arm wrestle between holders Monaghan and 2012 All-Ireland kingpins Donegal.

    The sides have met in the last three Ulster deciders. Monaghan dethroned the then Sam Maguire holders on a 0-13 to 0-7 scoreline in 2013. Revenge was Donegal's a year later as Jim McGuinness' squad grafted out a 0-15 to 1-9 success. But 11 months ago the Farney men were back in the winners enclosure as they edged a 0-11 to 0-10 victory over a Donegal side now guided by Rory Gallagher.

    More recent form saw Monaghan fighting back from an early seven-point deficit to beat Donegal 1-10 to 1-9 in the league in early April.

    There's never much in it between these rivals.
