Saturday sport: Monaghan crowned Division 2 champions, Leinster win in Durban

Jack McCarron's impact from the bench was significant as Monaghan hit the afterburners at Croke Park, burning off Roscommon in the closing quarter to secure the NFL Division 2 title.

Monaghan actually trailed by a point at half-time and while they were two-points ahead with 57 minutes on the clock, the Ulster outfit were still far from home and hosed.

But that's when they redoubled their efforts and found an extra gear, displaying all their power, pace and big game experience to outscore Roscommon by 1-6 to 0-1 in the run-in.

It was hugely impressive from Gabriel Bannigan's team, who got a big impact from sub McCarron, who finished with 1-2, as well as captain Micheal Bannigan. It was McCarron's 57th-minute goal that ignited the late scoring siege.
