Monaghan GAA Annual Awards 2023 The Monaghan GAA Annual awards 2023 ceremony took place last Saturday night in the 4 Seasons Monaghan. Scotstown GAA achieved 5 Monaghan GAA Annual Awards for 2023 at December's County Convention and well done to everyone involved. Thanks to everyone involved in Monaghan GAA and the Four Seasons Hotel Monaghan for organising and hosting an amazing night of talk, music, reflection and appreciation to what was an outstanding year for Monaghan Gaelic sports. Well done to Gráinne McElwain for her excellent performance as Master of Ceremonies and local traditional band Ceolinn from Tydavnet parish for a fine start to the evening with their brilliant music. The 5 awards were as follows; Congratulations to Rory Beggan, Senior Footballer of the Year. Since making his Monaghan debut in 2013, Rory has played over 120 consecutive league and championship games for the county, while also being an ever-present in Scotstowns championship games for more than a decade. In 2023 Rory was a consistent performer for club and county. He was central to Monaghan retaining their Division 1 status this year and in their run all the way to the All-Ireland semi-final and was an All Star nominee. He was also pivotal in Scotstown winning the Mick Duffy cup and their run to the Ulster Club final. From shot stopping, saving penalties, support play, contesting opposition kick outs, scoring from placed balls or from play, Rory has displayed a range of skills and abilities few other goalkeepers can match. Next award; Congratulations to Conor Mc Carthy, Club Monaghan Senior Footballer of the Year. A former Ulster Minor medal winner and Sigerson Cup winner, Conor became the 10th Monaghan player to win an All Star after his performances in 2023 as the county made it to the All-Ireland Semi Final. Lining out at left-half back, he scored two second half points in the Ulster Championship win over Tyrone, 0-3 in the drawn All Ireland Group game away to Derry and 1-2 in the home victory over Clare. Monaghan supporters will long remember his brilliant winning point in the Preliminary Quarter-Final win over Kildare on a great day for Monaghan football. His form continued in Croke Park with three points in the Quarter Final win over Armagh and he gave another fully committed performance in the Semi-Final defeat against Dublin. Conor was also an important player for Scotstown as they won the Mick Duffy Cup and he got vital scores in the Ulster Club Championship. We had 2 former Blues entering the Hall of Fame, Tom Moyna and Gerard McGuirk. Congratulations to Tom Moyna. Tom comes from a family with a long association with Scotstown and Monaghan – his father Tommy and uncle Mackey played for club and county. Tom had a successful juvenile career with Scotstown and made his way into the senior team in the mid-seventies. He gave some memorable performances when Scotstown won five Monaghan Senior football championships in a row and won three successive Ulster club titles in the late seventies. He lined out at full forward for Monaghan in 1979 when the county won the Ulster Senior Football Championship after a gap of 41 years. Tom has managed various underage teams in Scotstown and is a current Trustee of the club. Congratulations to Gerard Mc Guirk. Gerard also comes from a family with strong Scotstown history – his father Hugh was a member of the 1960 championship winning team. Gerard was a regular on the Scotstown team that won the Ulster Club title in 1989 and won back-to-back Monaghan Senior Football titles in 1992 and 1993, winning the Man of the Match award in the 1992 drawn final. He was a regular for Monaghan throughout the 1990’s, capable of playing in defence, midfield or attack. After retirement, Gerard got involved with management of various Scotstown teams and was a selector in 2011 when they narrowly lost the county final to Latton. Gerard’s family continue the tradition by playing for Scotstown Ladies. To round it all off, Scotstown GAA were named Club of the Year! So well done to all our members, players, coaches and volunteers for achieving club of the year 2023! Scotstown GAA has enjoyed another busy and fruitful year both on and off the field, and we are delighted and grateful to awarded Club of the year for 2023. Through our health and well-being initiatives and other activities in our club we continue to serve the community as community comes first. Football is nothing without the people you enjoy it with, the people to share in those moments, the people in the community. Having recently achieved the Silver Healthy Club GAA award, we are further enabled to further support the holistic health of our members and all the community that we serve. Healthy Club Initiatives and other community related activities included Operation Transformation, Make a Ceili, Nutritional talks, Scór successes, Card playing nights, table quizzes, blood pressure health checks, various charity collection events with the senior ladies, and Gaelic Mothers 4 Others.

Our Junior men made brilliant progress this year making the quarter final of the Junior Championship. Our Senior men qualified for their 11th Senior Championship County final in a row and won against a strong Inniskeen side to win the club’s 22nd Senior County Championship, including 8 out of the last 11 finals in a row. The Senior team went on an amazing run in the Ulster Club Championship, defeating 2021 All Ireland Champions Kilcoo in a thrilling quarter final and a strong Trillick side in a tense Semi Final before losing narrowly in a tight Final to last year’s All Ireland runners up, Glen. It was also an amazing year in Intercounty level, with 8 of our players part of the Monaghan Senior team that went on an exceptional run to the All-Ireland Semi Final and 5 of our representatives were part of the historic Monaghan minor team that made the All-Ireland Final. Our juvenile girl representatives had success as well with the minors winning the Platinum Ulster Championship and our Under 14 girls winning the Silver Ulster championship and qualifying for the All-Ireland Final.
