Scotstown completed a three-in-a-row of Monaghan SFC titles with an extra-time victory over Inniskeen in Clones. The 2023 Ulster Club finalists were pushed all the way by an Inniskeen side who were chasing their first county title in 77 years, but the introduction of Ryan O’Toole and Conor McCarthy helped push the game beyond their reach.
