McEnaney tightlipped on keeper decision

MONAGHAN manager Seamus McEnaney has refused to retrace the trail of events which ended with his full-back lining out in goal for yesterday’s Ulster SFC quarter-final against Armagh.

There was less than half an hour to throw-in when word first began to spread that all was not well in the Monaghan camp and that a bizarre situation had emerged with regard to who would start between the posts.

Regular stopper, Shane Duffy, had been hampered by a quad injury all week and the Magheraclone keeper was finally ruled out at tea-time on Saturday evening, which is when the story really got interesting.
