Monaghan show their credentials

Monaghan showed their championship credentials again yesterday when they defeated Meath by five points and they look well on their way to returning to the top flight.
The return of Vincent Corey to the full forward line to partner Tommy Freeman gives Monaghan another dimension. Corey showed last season he is a good player and not just a big target for long balls. He enhanced that reputation today.
Paul Finlay showed yet again how important he is to the Farney men with a well-taken goal in the first half and but for a couple of late scores by the Royals the score line could have been much worse.
Monaghan are capable of going all the way in Ulster at least this year.
They are hard working and have no obvious weaknesses.
I don’t think they have it on the bench yet and if either of the Freemans or Finlay are hurt then they won’t go all the way.
However, they have been on steady upward curve for the last three years and on current form will fear no one in the country.
