Over the past three weeks, our senior footballers have run off a seven-a-side tournament. Sunday saw the last round of matches and finals take place. Well done to all the lads who took part over the three weeks and thanks to the management for facilitating this competition, which featured teams named in honour of a handful of late, great club stalwarts. Foireann Brendan McCann finished in fifth place, while the 3rd/4th place play-off saw John Mulholland's team, captained by Kevin Loughran, see off strong opposition in Patsy Kierans’ team. The showpiece of the day saw Peter McNelis’ team, captained by Ado McAnespie, see off Tom Cuddy’s team, led by Nicholas Scott, in another close game. All games were competitive and allowed the lads to show off their skills, some fantastic link-up play and a bit of ingenuity. There were many close games with alleged dubious decisions and accusations of inaccurate timekeeping. All in all, a normal day at the Harps. Thank you to Jim McConnon/Londis for sponsorship of the tournament. Kevin Moran took home the Mickey ‘Rock’ Treanor Player of the Tournament award and the winning Peter McNelis team were presented with the McArdle Cup by Séamus Treanor. This cup was previously won by Monaghan Harps in 1922 and 1923, so it was nice to see it back in use. Thanks to Harps referees Hugh McKenna and Paul McGeown who made themselves available over the past three weeks and to Jimmy Croarkin and Paul who were in charge of the whistles on Sunday.
