A goal by Edwin Murphy 10 minutes into the second half set Monaghan champions Castleblayney on their way to victory in this hard-hitting quarter-final at St Mary's Park, Castleblayney yesterday.
Five minutes into the second half Enniskillen, leading at half-time by 0-5 to 0-3, extended their lead to three points but Castleblayney struck the decisive score when Murphy carried the ball through the Enniskillen defence and unleashed a great shot to the roof of the net to put his side into the lead. Three points from Dermot McArdle, Peter Duffy and Kieran Tavey sealed victory for Castleblayney
