Latton                  0-09 Inniskeen                1-05 By COLM SHALVEY LATTON secured a second narrow home win in the County Monaghan Group of Credit Unions Senior Football League in less than a week when they edged out Inniskeen on Monday. Three consecutive defeats had seen Latton slip to second-from-bottom ahead of last Wednesday’s clash with Magheracloone, but they won that by three points and they dug out a win by the minimum margin here to move into a share of fourth place.

By Colm Shalvey Ten teams are still in the running for the three Monaghan football championship titles, after a weekend in which Scotstown were the main casualty. Only semi-finals remain in the Senior and Intermediate Football Championships, while the Junior Football Championship is down to the last two teams. Last weekend’s action in the Gormley uPVC Senior Football Championship saw Castleblayney and Latton advance to the semi-finals at the expense of Scotstown and Currin. The Castleblayney v Scotstown game attracted a big crowd to Clontibret last Saturday, but it failed to ...

By JOHN GRAHAM THERE WERE contrasting reactions in the various camps at the end of last Sunday’s contest in the Athletic Grounds with Latton annoyed with the referee and how quickly he blew the full-time whistle after sending off Burren substitute Eoin McCartan. Latton were just about allowed to take the free which they played short and just as their player was in possession from the short free Cassidy controversially blew the full-time whistle although there was about 10 seconds of the two minutes of stoppage time indicated still ...

Joint Glenswilly boss Gary McDaid sounds a note of cautious optimism ahead of this Sunday’s Ulster Club SFC test with Latton.by KEVIN CARNEY Punters in Breffni land won’t need reminding that it’s Glenswilly and not Cavan Gaels who’ll go toe-to-toe with Latton this Sunday in the quarter-final of the Ulster club SFC. MacCumhaill Park, circa 2.30pm, is destined to feel like Rio De Janiero without the carnival for any exiled Breffni blues that may pop into the Ballybofey bastion of Gaelic games for a cheap gawk at what might have been. Glenswilly didn’t ...

Latton are just one win away from a historic senior double after they edged their way to another one-point win away to Ballybay in the second semi-final of the Drumlin Group of Credit Unions Senior Football League last Sunday. Latton have been making a habit of winning big games by the narrowest of margins and they repeated the trick in this game to break the hearts of their neighbours once again, just like they had done in the SFC semi-finals on their way to championship success. Latton played some great ...

Latton match-winner Owen Duffy believes SFL success in 2010 formed the springboard which catapulted his club to SFC glory this year. The man whose injury-time point sealed the O’Rahillys’ 1-6 to 0-8 win over Scotstown in last Sunday’s county final reckons the momentum garnered from last year’s league title win came to a crescendo in the dregs of the final in Inniskeen. “Morale wasn’t too good after going out of last year’s championship with defeat to Scotstown and then to Carrick,” recalls Duffy who captained Latton to their 2010 SFL ...

Gardai are warning homeowners to be especially vigilant about valuable vehicles parked outside their houses at night, following a spate of “creeper theft” incidents in which high-powered cars and jeeps have been stolen after raiders broke into the owners’ houses to find the keys. It is suspected that one gang is behind the series of robberies, which are possibly being carried out to order. A black Renault Fluence with a 2010 registration was stolen from a house in the Latton area at about 2.30am on Tuesday last, gardai confirmed, ...
