Mons get another shot at rampant Rebels

A hat-trick of goals from corner-forward Cathriona McConnell was key as Monaghan beat Mayo by 4-15 to 2-14 to set up a repeat of last year’s final in this year’s TG4 Ladies Football All-Ireland Senior Championship semi-finals.

Having lost to Cork in last year’s decider, Monaghan overcame the Rebels in this year’s National League Division 1 final and manager Gregory McGonigle is looking forward to the September 8 challenge.

“If you’re going to win an All-Ireland then you have to beat the best teams in Ireland,” he said.
