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
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 likely ...

Gaelic Handball
Gaelic handball (known in Ireland simply as handball; ga, liathróid láimhe) is a sport where players hit a ball with a hand or fist against a wall in such a way as to make a shot the opposition cannot return, and that may be played with two (singles) or four players (doubles). The sport, popular in Ireland, is similar to American handball, Welsh handball, fives, Basque pelota, Valencian frontó, and more remotely to racquetball or squash. It is one of the four Gaelic games organised by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA). GAA Handball, a subsidiary organisation of the GAA, governs and promotes the sport. Rules Handball is played in a court, or "alley". Originally, an alley measuring was used with a front wall, off which the ball must be struck. A smaller alley was also introduced, measuring with a front wall high. The first alley of this size was built in Ireland in 1969. This smaller size is now the standard in the international version of the game, but b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

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.
