Shane Duffy (Gaelic footballer)

Shane Duffy is a Gaelic football player from County Monaghan. He plays for the Magheracloone Mitchells club team and for the Monaghan senior football team. He was a very important figure in Magheracloone's capture of the Monaghan Football Championship in 2004 and in Monaghan's 2005 N.F.L. Division 2 title.[1][2][3]

Duffy is an experienced goalkeeper,[4] although he has not always been able to hold on to a starting place in the Monaghan team,[2][5][6][7] with competition from players such as Glen Murphy.[8]

Duffy won the 2011 All-Ireland Kick Fada Championship with a 60-metre kick into a strong headwind.[9]
