Rory Beggan
Rory Beggan is a Gaelic footballer from Scotstown, County Monaghan, Republic of Ireland, who plays at senior level for the Monaghan county team. In November 2018, Beggan won an All-Star award. History Beggan plays his club Gaelic football for Scotstown GAA. Beggan was first called up to play inter-county football for Monaghan in 2011 by Eamon McEneaney. Whilst playing county football, he gained a reputation as a goalkeeper with a long kick and was able to score points from inside his own half. Later he was designated as Monaghan's free kick taker. Keen to practice his free kicks, in 2018 he disguised himself as a member of the backroom team in order to get more practice time with Queen's University Belfast's minors team in Northern Ireland. Between 2011 and 2018, he had scored 0-43 points, the joint highest for a goalkeeper. Beggan's style of play has been viewed as an evolution of the goalkeeper position being more involved in attacking and scoring moves as ten years pri ...

Scotstown GAA
Scotstown GAA ( ga, CLG An Bhoth) is a Gaelic football and ladies' football club in Scotstown, County Monaghan, Ireland which represents the parish of Tydavnet. History Although no precise date has been recorded for the foundation of the club, Gaelic games have been played in the parish since at least the nineteenth century. One of the earliest written accounts of a Scotstown club appeared in a January 1890 edition of ''The People's Advocate'' newspaper, referring to a game against neighbouring club Ballinode. Various clubs came and went in the parish over the first half of the twentieth century, with Scotstown winning a Monaghan Junior Football League (JFL) title in 1933, Tydavnet winning a Monaghan Junior Football Championship (JFC) in 1935, and Knockatallon securing a Monaghan JFL title in 1944.

Scotstown Gaelic Footballers
Scotstown () is a village in the townland of Bough () in north County Monaghan, Ireland. Scotstown is located in the parish of Tydavnet, along the Monaghan Blackwater, Scotstown being the village closest to the river's source. Scotstown is centred in the townland of Bough, but extends into Carrowhatta, Teraverty, Drumdesco and Stracrunnion townlands. Name Several theories exist around the origin of the English Language name, either deriving from the fact that a lot of Scots were located there during the Plantation of Monaghan (County Monaghan not having been part of the Plantation of Ulster), or it may have been named after a local landowner, George Scott, in the 1660s. Older documents, including Thom's ''Irish Almanac'' of 1862, alternate between referencing the village as Scottstown and Scotstown. With regard to its Irish language names, the traditional name of ''An Bhoth'' or ''An Bhothach'' comes from the townland of Bough, where the village is centered, with the ...

Monaghan ( ; ) is the county town of County Monaghan, Ireland. It also provides the name of its civil parish and barony. The population of the town as of the 2016 census was 7,678. The town is on the N2 road from Dublin to Derry and Letterkenny.
