Monaghan get bench boost to beat Down

Down 1-16 - Monaghan 1-24: Monaghan held some firepower in reserve and their bench exploded into life in the second half to book a place in the All-Ireland SFC quarter-finals for the fourth time in five years, writes Orla Bannon.

That was a scenario that looked unlikely even at half time when it was 1-9 apiece, with Down looking the better team.
