Currin v Truagh Gaels, Junior Football Championship

Currin host Truagh Gaels at their own grounds in Scotshouse on Saturday, 15 August 2026, in Group 2, Round 2 of the Monaghan Junior Football Championship, throwing in at 4pm. It is the second group game for both sides after their round one fixtures the previous weekend.

What to expect

Currin, whose club dates back to 1886 and is recognised as the oldest affiliated GAA club in County Monaghan, draws its players from Scotshouse and the surrounding Connons area near the Cavan border. The club has held Intermediate status in the recent past and competes in the Junior Football Championship as it works to build back up through the grades. Truagh Gaels travel from Emyvale in the north of the county, a longer trip across Monaghan for this round two meeting. Junior Championship football at this level is played by clubs a rung below Intermediate, with the group stage deciding who advances to the knockout rounds later in the campaign; a round two game between two clubs both looking to get their campaign moving carries real weight for seeding. Expect a typically local, low key club atmosphere rather than a big crowd, with players, families and a small clubhouse gathering around the pitch.

Getting there

Currin’s grounds are in Scotshouse, a small village in west Monaghan close to the Cavan border, reached by local roads from Newbliss or Clones; there is parking at the pitch for match day.

While you’re in Scotshouse

Scotshouse is a small village on the Cavan border, a quiet stop before or after the game. There is more to see across Co. Monaghan.
