BARRY MONAGHAN will be missing from the Donegal squad for tonight’s National Football League Division Two clash with Meath at Ballybofey after deciding to take a break from the county set-up.
The 31-year-old – who made his debut for Donegal in 2000 – has opted out because of the demands of the county scene, although he hasn’t ruled out returning at a later date.
Meanwhile, Hurling for Haiti, a fund-raising coaching day organised by Kilkenny, will be held on April 10th in St Kieran’s College.
Among those giving the courses will be All-Ireland winning manager Brian Cody and Wexford legend George O’Connor. Attendance costs €30.

Ballyhea GAA club’s new history, Keeping the Flame Aglow, will be officially released by GAA president Christy Cooney at the Corbett Court in Ballyhea tomorrow at 8.30pm. All are welcome.
