How well do you remember Donegal and Monaghan's last five league meetings?

It's the Farney County who hold the advantage with two wins and two draws since the 2016 clash in Castleblayney

2020
Donegal 2-12
Monaghan 0-8
Donegal's good record at Fr Tierney Park got them back on track in Division 1 of the Allianz Football League as they overcame a poor Monaghan side in difficult conditions.


Donegal had not lost there since 2009, defeated by Dublin, and once they got a goal before half-time they always looked good to secure a badly needed two points.

Monaghan didn't help themselves with some indiscipline, having Ryan Wylie seeing red while they also lost goalkeeper Rory Beggan to a black card. Donegal led 1-5 to 0-2 at the break.
