Farneymen right on track

Monaghan will gain much out of their second half fight back against Dublin yesterday at Parnell Park.
The Farneymen impressed last year with their never say die attitude and they almost shaded Kerry in the All-Ireland quarter finals.
They are under pressure to show they are not a one season wonder and their performances to date in the National League have confirmed they are genuine contenders in Ulster and beyond.
Early in the second half of yesterday's game they looked to have the match under control however a great spell by then 14-man Dublin playing with the breeze left them four down with less than ten minutes left.
The fact that the Ulstermen picked themselves up off the floor to level says a lot about their self belief.
Paul Finley and Tommy Freeman again were ice cool when the pressure was on and if Monaghan can stay injury free they will take some beating in the championship.
