Ballybay leave it late to edge past Latton

The Monaghan SFC clicked into gear in earnest over the weekend with four games down for decision.

There were victories for Scotstown over Magheracloone and Monaghan Harps over Doohamlet on Saturday while yesterday, county champions Ballybay squeezed past Latton in a dramatic finish. Clontibret, defeated in last year’s final, got over the challenge of Castleblayney with something to spare.

Overall the fare on offer was somewhat mundane, particularly in the two games on Saturday evening, with the losers in each never posing any real threat.
