Monaghan will meet Cavan in Dr McKenna Cup semi-final after 15 point win over Fermanagh

Elsewhere Antrim got the better of Down tonight.

MONAGHAN WILL TAKE on near neighbours Cavan in next Sunday’s Power NI Dr McKenna Cup semi-final.

Malachy O’Rourke’s side secured the best runner-up spot with a 2-20 to 0-11 victory in tonight’s Section B clash against Fermanagh at Brewster Park in Enniskillen.

That ensured they finished behind Derry in Section B but still on scoring difference edged out Donegal and Antrim – who finished second in the other sections – for the best runner-up place.

They will face Section C winners Cavan who were not in action tonight as they had been given a walkover by third-level side UUJ. Monaghan lead 1-10 to 0-7 at the break with Shane Carey striking their goal and substitute Christopher McGuinness raised the second green flag.

The one game on in Section C tonight saw Antrim take the spoils by 1-12 to 0-10 against Down in Páirc Esler in Newry. Antrim lead 1-9 to 0-6 at the break. Paddy Cunningham struck their goal during that period which helped to lay the foundations for a five-point success.
