The sellers' prize of €20 was won by Dermot Coyle. Jackpot for Sunday, August 30 is €6,000. The club is asking members willing and financially able to contribute through our lotto towards club maintenance and running expenses. This can be done by two options: set up a standing order to our club lotto via quarterly or annual payments or using our new club app by downloading 'ClubZap' on your phone, registering as a Monaghan Harps GAA Club member and buying club lotto in bulk or on a weekly basis. Anyone interested can contact either Rose Donnelly (086 0825782); Maria McKenna (086 1057725) or Adrian Dalton (087 7859582). Thanks to everyone for their support.

Seniors: We ended our McElvaney Recycling Intermediate Football Championship group stage with a hard-earned, spirited win away to Emyvale on Tuesday, August 18. The momentum swung several times during the first half, with an early goal for us from Brendan Óg Ó Dufaigh being cancelled out by a brace from Emyvale. Points from Neil McAdam, Stephen Driver, Conor McCrystal, Gary White and Michael Galligan had us level at 1-7 to 2-4 at half-time. Emyvale made a strong start to the second half to re-establish a three-point lead, but points from Conor and Michael Galligan and Lochlainn Power helped keep us in touch and we pushed on in the closing stages, with Stephen, Conor Galligan, Conor McCrystal and John Mulligan on target. A 1-15 to 2-10 win left us waiting on Saturday's final-round games to decide our final position in the group and with results going in our favour, we finished in third place ahead of Killanny on head-to-head records. We now take on Corduff in the quarter-finals in Aughnamullen this Saturday at 5.45pm. Please note that this game will unfortunately be played behind closed doors as per a recent government decision.

Minors: Our U-17s hosted Donaghmoyne in the penultimate round of the Maguire International Division One Championship group stage on Tuesday, August 18. A slow start left us chasing the game, but points from Tiarnán O'Rourke, Shay Cooney, Kevin Moran and Gary Devlin left us trailing by the minimum at half-time (0-6 to 0-5). Luke McManus kicked a series of fine scores during the second half, while Shea Swift and Tiarnán added a point each, but we fell short by the narrowest of margins (0-11 to 1-9).
