Donaghmoyne completed the Monaghan ladies senior double on Friday, 23 October, beating Magheracloone 4-14 to 1-8 in the Division 1 Senior League final at Aughnamullen. The club's fixtures page lists David Hurson as referee. Donaghmoyne had already beaten Magheracloone 5-17 to 1-2 in the county senior championship final on 27 September.

Next: Knockbride away

Donaghmoyne travel to Cavan champions Knockbride for the Ulster Ladies Senior Club Championship semi-final on Sunday, 1 November, at 2pm at St Bridget's Park, Knockbride, according to the LGFA's fixtures. The other semi-final is St Ergnat's Moneyglass v Steelstown Brian Ógs.

The Anglo-Celt reports that Knockbride have already beaten Steelstown and Armagh champions Shane O'Neill's. The paper says Donaghmoyne have won 14 Ulster senior titles since 2004, most recently in 2022, and five All-Ireland titles from seven finals.

Knockbride's view

Knockbride manager Paul Cahill told the Anglo-Celt: "We all know what Donaghmoyne have, who they are and what they have achieved. They have set the standards for everyone in Ulster, so we're under no illusions about what we are up against."

"We'll have to, at the very least, match Donaghmoyne's efforts, and I'd say surpass them. I think the only way to beat the likes of Donaghmoyne is to match them toe-for-toe for their work rate and hope you get the rub of the green at certain points of the game," he said.
