Mons face shels in 1st game of season

MONAGHAN UNITED FC

PRESS RELEASE

Dated 17th February 2010

MONS OPEN SEASON AWAY TO SHELS

In the 2010 FAI League of Ireland seasons, Monaghan United kick off their campaign with a trip to Tolka Park to face Shelbourne FC. The first game for the Mons starts at 8pm in the Dublin venue and will be a cracker of a game if previous meetings between these two sides is anything to go by.

United play their first home game the following week on Friday 12th of March against Longford Town with an 8pm kick off at Gortakeegan. This is followed by a visit to the Monaghan United stadium by Northern rivals Finn Harps on the 19th March and United conclude their campaign by hosting their other Northern neighbours Derry City on Saturday 30th October at 7.45pm.

For all other fixtures please go to www.monaghanunited.com

MANAGERS QUOTES:

�Its going to be a difficult start going to Tolka to face Shelbourne who will be one of the promotion favourites. Knowing who Longford and Finn Harps have signed in the pre-season these will be very tough games too and the league is going to be even more competitive than usual.�

Hi
Wonder if the Monaghan gang will be having any pre-match drinks, if so where abouts? Would be cool to see what an actual real Monaghan fan looks like as I have never seen one, not even on the tele
