Bannigan pleased with Clare performance after 'flat' first half
All-Ireland SFC Group 3: Monaghan 1-25 (2-6-13) Clare 1-16 (1-4-8) Monaghan manager Gabriel Bannigan felt his side had been 'flat' in the first half of their topsy-turvy win over Clare yesterday, with Group three of the All-Ireland SFC set to go down to the wire. Bannigan noted that too many of his players 'weren't at the pitch of it' for the first half, but that they were 'a different animal' in the second, with their subs bringing 'a lot of energy and drive'. Group three will boil down to a top-of-the-table decider between Monaghan and Down, plus an effective knock-out clash between Louth and Clare, following a real game of two halves in Clones. Producing a reaction to their heavy loss to Down, Clare made a mockery of the pre-match odds by building up a double-scores half-time lead with the wind at their backs, but Monaghan outscored them by 1-18 to 1-2 after the restart to remain behind the Mourne men only on score-difference, heading into the final round of the group stage. Monaghan could afford to kick 14 wides and still get the win, helped by 0-8 from Jack McCarron, a goal by Conor McCarthy and a significant impact from their subs. McCarthy's goal was one of several moments from this game that mirrored the counties' meeting at the same stage in 2023, when the former All-Star hit the net to keep the Munster finalists at bay. Monaghan started brightly with early points from Conor McCarthy, Ryan McAnespie and Mícheál Bannigan, with Daniel Walsh kicking Clare's only score of the first 13 minutes, but the Banner grew into the game in some style towards the end of the opening quarter. Clare's frequent raids down the right flank led to two-pointers from Conor Meaney (two), Eoin Cleary and Mark McInerney, which propelled them into a healthy lead. Dessie Ward ended 13 scoreless minutes for Monaghan, who also saw full-forwards Jack McCarron and Stephen Mooney open their accounts late in the half, but Aaron Griffin replied to leave Clare in command at half-time: 0-14 to 0-7. Monaghan began the second half with much more purpose, as McCarron kicked 0-5 inside the first ten minutes, including a brace of two-pointers, before McCarthy scythed through to drill home the opening goal, which edged them ahead for the first time since the early stages. David Garland also found his range from outside the arc and he was joined on the scoresheet by fellow subs Aaron Carey and Andrew Woods, with veteran Darren Hughes joining them in making an impact off the bench. Clare took 23 minutes to get their first score of the half from McInerney, but they gave themselves a glimmer of hope when a point from Dermot Coughlan was swiftly followed by a palmed goal from Aaron Griffin. Monaghan's cushion was down to four on 66 minutes, but Rory Beggan converted a pair of two-point frees late on to see the hosts finish with nine to spare. Scorers for Monaghan: J McCarron 0-8 (2 2-pt, 1 2-pt-f, 1f); R Beggan 0-5 (2 2-pt-f, 1 '45); C McCarthy 1-1; M Bannigan 0-3 (1f); D Garland 0-2 (1 2-pt); R McAnespie, D Ward, A Woods, A Carey, S O'Hanlon, S Mooney (0-1 each).

Monaghan take full advantage of two-pointers to ease past Clare
Monaghan 1-25 Clare 1-16 MONAGHAN BEAT CLARE on Sunday afternoon to set up a straight shootout with Down for an automatic place in the All-Ireland senior football championship quarter-finals. Gabriel Bannigan's side kicked no fewer than six two-pointers — three from Jack McCarron, two from goalkeeper Rory Beggan, and one from David Garland — as they ran out nine-point winners in Clones. Advertisement Clare played the first half with a strong wind at their backs and led by double scores at the break, 0-14 to 0-7. But the Banner were then held scoreless from the majority of the second half, Conor McCarthy's goal nudging Monaghan into 1-12 to 0-14 lead. The Farney had added another five points to lead 1-17 to 0-14 by the time Clare finally registered a score through Mark McInerney. But Monaghan kicked on for home as McCarron and Beggan kicked two-pointers to close out their victory. Monaghan now sit second in Group 3 behind Down by virtue of their slightly inferior scoring difference, while Clare have a fortnight to prepare for a win-or-bust meeting with Leinster champions Louth.
