Tom McGrath a stalwart of the 1930's was there to welcome his son John and his grandson John (who also played in the English Premier League with Aston Villa), both who had done Monagea proud earlier in the day.
In recent years John Flavin has created his own niche in the annals of the club, he has played hurling with Limerick in every grade and has also played junior football. His many fine displays in the famed green of limerick and the renowned Green and Gold of Monagea has been a source of pride and joy for the people of his native parish.

Monagea is a small club with limited resources; we have a long and proud tradition. There have been great days, good days and bad days, and not in that numerical order, but the spirit of the Association is still alive and well due to the continuous dedicated commitment, down through the years of people who are willing to give of their time for the betterment of the club

Gaelic football, once a proud and noble game has lost some of its traditional skills, primarily due to the over use of the hand pass. Hurling still retains many of the unique qualities, which embody courage and skill. To this end a local committee in Monagea have been working hard over the past couple of years to provide an indoor facility, where young players can practice and develop the traditional skills of a great game. Due to the unstinting work of this committee and the generosity of the club sponsors Cavanagh's of Charleville and a sizeable grant from the National lottery, this facility has now become a reality.
