Conor McManus is a Gaelic footballer for Monaghan.[1]
After winning the 2013 Ulster Senior Football Championship with Monaghan,[2] he was hauled down by Sean Cavanagh in sight of goal in the All-Ireland quarter-final, with Monaghan losing only by two points in the end.[3] McManus was later named in the 23-man Ireland squad for the 2013 International Rules Series against Australia.[4] He scored two goals in the second Test at Croke Park and won the man of the match award, as Ireland romped to a record-breaking victory.[5][6] On 8 November 2013, McManus won an All Star at corner-forward. During a club match with Clontibret in Spring 2014, he suffered a knee injury that kept him out until the Ulster Football Championship Quarter Final against Tyrone. He won another County Championship medal as Clontibret came back from a 5-point deficit to win 1-10 to 1-09 against favourited Scotstown.[7]
Again selected for Ireland in the 2015 International Rules Test, McManus won the GAA Medal as the Irish player of the series in a team which was defeated by 10 points against Australia.[8]
