Vinny Corey and Dessie Mone both announced their retirements today, 2 of the all time great servants to Monaghan football.
No surprise really with Banty coming back in, Malachy leaving seemed like a natural point for them both to bow out on too, but that's a serious amount of experience leaving the dressing room. They've been part of the county team since 2003 and 2004 respectively. They owe Monaghan football absolutely nothing and their presence will certainly be missed.
Both played their first and last championship game against Armagh. Corey in 03, Mone 04.
Vinny Corey played 62 championship games scoring 3-8
Dessie Malone played 58 championship games scoring 1-12
