MONAGHAN REBOUNDED FROM their Ulster semi-final loss to Fermanagh with a merciless 27-point beating of Waterford in the sweltering Dungarvan heat this afternoon.
Conor McManus, Karl O’Connell, Fintan Kelly, Dessie Mone and Shane Carey all rattled the net for the Farney men. 15 of the 21 players used by Malachy O’Rourke got their names on the scoresheet.
2-2 in the closing four minutes of the opening half gave the away team a 16-point cushion at the break (3-11 to 0-4). 11 different players registered scores.
They were six points to the good inside 14 minutes. Kieran Power knocked over Waterford’s first on the quarter hour mark. Dungarvan club mate Gavin Crotty followed it up two minutes later.
Derek O’Mahoney signalled a Monaghan penalty on 20 minutes for a push on Ryan McAnespie.
McManus sent Stephen Enright the wrong way from the spot. Goalkeeper Rory Beggan curled in a free from 50 metres.
A Jason Curry dead ball left it 1-9 to 0-4 after 29 minutes.
Karl O’Connell punished a Waterford turnover with a goal two minutes before the interval. Midfielders Niall Kearns and Darren Hughes added points and then Kelly finished another penetrating move to the net with the last play of the half.
