Monaghan Friendly
Newry host Monaghan United at the Showgrounds on Tuesday 24th January with a 7.30pm kick off.
Monaghan will play in the Premier Division of the Airtricity league this year and they open their campaign with a home tie against Dundalk on 2 March. They were promoted to the top flight after a comprehensive 5-1 aggregate victory over Galway in last year's playoff.
Monaghan are managed by Roddy Collins and count current Newry manager Pat McGibbon among their former employees. With Newry having a number of Monaghan men in their ranks at present, this promises to provide an extra edge to the game.
So mark the date in your diary and get along and support your team.
