Harrison is roasting Wylie again
That score by Harrison to put Down 6-4 up was a brilliantly worked team score right from the rebound of Karl OâConnellâs shot and then he repeated the does.
Down are moving the ball very smartly.
Two great goal chances gone begging now.
Terrible miss by McKernan.
Down picked apart. No chance finish by Fintan Kelly.
Badly needed goal for Down. The Monaghan goal had knocked them back on their feet.
Were they off their feet?
Deegan is such a shit ref. Heâs ducking Down over.
Harrison destroying Monaghan.
Half-time: Down 1-9 Monaghan 1-9.
Down have been the more impressive team in an attacking sense but Monaghan will be happy enough to go in level despite not having played very well.
That said, Monaghan wonât be happy with their shooting in the last 15 minutes of the half which has been very poor.
I think Monaghan will make their greater ability to win possession tell as the game wears on.
3 goals in 3 games for Fintan Kelly.
Decent game
Down have hit a lot of great scores but I sense theyâve exerted a good deal more energy than Monaghan.
Monaghan are really beginning to win the 50-50 battles around the field now.
Red rover.
Devastating 10 minutes from Monaghan. Putting this to bed.
OâHanlon has had two bad misses from frees from half-time.
Aidan Carr might take over from him on frees.
Monaghan gambled on conserving energy by not pushing up on Downâs kickouts in the first half.
That gamble looks to have paid off. Theyâve pushed up in a big way since half-time and Down are struggling.
Conor Maginn coming off sums up how Down have blown themselves out. He was everywhere in the first half.
Harrison has to score that.
Terrible goalkeeping by Beggan.
