Monaghan Harps V Inniskeen in Championship 2011

With minutes to go it looked like Monaghan Harps could pull this game out of the fire but a few missed opportunities by them at the crucial time meant a victory for Inniskeen in the 2011 Championship. This was a very physical game and good football did not have a chance. Frees abounded and made this a very stop start game, which was not very entertaining for spectators. For most of the time it was the Harps who were producing the better football and showing neat skills but they succumbed to pressure from Inniskeen and lost possession or had wayward shots at target. Harps too, even more than their opponents, seemed to have difficulty staying upright due to the greasy surface after a heavy downpour but conditions cannot be blamed for the defeat or victory. On the day Inniskeen proved the stronger and got their scores.
