Monaghan Utd 4, Cherry Orchard 0CHERRY ORCHARD endured a cup tie to forget at Kingspan Century Park when they were beaten by a Monaghan United side smarting from Orchard's last-gasp draw on Sunday.

Midfielder Seán Brennan opened United’s account in the third minute and orchestrated the victory imperiously.

Cathal O’Connor’s crisp 16th-minute second exemplified the class deficit, and two headers from diminutive winger Barry Clancy before half-time confirmed it.

MONAGHAN UNITED:McCarey; Whelan, Lynch, Byrne, Grimes; O'Connor, Tierney, Brennan (McCrossan, 75), Clancy; Bermingham (Hanaphy, 68), Freeman (McKenna, 81).
