McKenna Cup 2024

[bustsummoves]

Conor Clarke was the 2010 minor fullback and played midfield for Omagh for most of this year. He's always impressed me whenever I've seen him.

It's good to see Johnny Lafferty into the squad as well. He's been one of the best club players in the county for the last couple of years, and probably the one I'd be most looking forward to seeing. Be interesting to see how he adapts to senior intercounty football.

Poor player, very average now even for his club Omagh.

Only one keeper on the panel.

He'll not count - barely got a kick against Kildress in the Championship when a cub was marking him.

Agree about Lafferty.  The most exciting player in the County last year.

Have to agree. Seen him against Derrylaughan in the 2010 intermediate final and was looking forward to a good showing from him. He didnt turn up that day but he did wreak havoc in the semi final that year aganst Eglish.

Mourne County seek winning blend
14 December 2011

Down manager James McCartan is trying to come up with the right mix of youth and experience.
Having lost key men Martin Clarke, Caolan Mooney, Peter Fitzpatrick and James Colgan to emigration, the Mourne boss will welcome back some big names and also introduce some fresh blood for the McKenna Cup next month.
McCartan has been boosted by the availability of experienced quartet Damien Rafferty, Declan Rooney, Conor Garvey and Ambrose Rogers. And, in his provisional squad named for the subsidiary provincial competition, Niall McParland and Conor Gough join fellow Hogan Cup winning captain Kevin McKernan, with other new faces including Damien and Peter Turley (Downpatrick), Arthur McConville (Clonduff), Ross McGarry (Warrenpoint) and Marcus Miskelly (Darraghcross).
Chairman Seamus Walsh says: "Obviously we are disappointed to have lost such a talented group of players who have now left this country but we feel we now have key men coming back from injury and others who are prepared to make a strong bid for places in the side. This is very encouraging.
"We got to the All-Ireland final in 2010 and that whetted our appetite for glory. But we will take things one step at a time.
"The McKenna Cup will give us an indication of where we are at and then we will see how we go in the national league.
"An Ulster championship title would be on our radar but there are eight other counties with the same ambition."

Harte can only name a 26 man squad so Mark along with others are being rested ie Joe McMahon, Owen Mulligan, Davy Harte, Big Packie, Cathal McCarron, Ryan McMenamin

[Radda bout yeee]

Just thought he would have been a candidate for the mckenna as he hasn't had as much exeperience as the rest of the rested players.

My sources tell me you'll not see mulligan in a tyrone jersey again - well not until the over 40's anyway!

Radda and you know why........its because of that UGG boot scandel you started!

Interesting squad.
Seems like back to the future for Peter.
Lot of the older faces back in the Fermanagh colours.
Good to see a few new faces as well like Mullin from Erne Gaels and Donnelly for Coa.
Good to see Deccy Cassidy in there as well.  Has been one of the best defenders in club football
in Fermanagh for the last 10 years.  Have no idea why it took this long for somebody to have a
look at him

Few player missing as well.
Not one player from Devenish except Mulrone who is injured.  Strange...
Marty and Chris O'Brien would certainly spring to mind. 
James McGrath from Belcoo was an excellent find last year and IMO is the best keeper in the county.
Hugh Brady is also an emission.
Peter Sherry is working in England so that would explain his absence.
Goan also not there and would presume work commitments are keeping him away.

Also no word of Tommy McElroy and Marty McGrath.  Both injured I presume at the minute and would imagine they will
be in the National League squad.

[Farneylawd2011]

After been told that St. Mary's v Armagh will be played in Crossmaglen and so will the Armagh v Fermanagh game aswell.

Vincent Corey. Clontribret

Disappointing squad to be honest. Beggan is a good keeper so he is worth a try. Some of the other new faces are simply not up to county level and not even stand out performers in their clubs leagues. I'm not sure which Monaghan players will be playing for 3rd level teams in the January compeitions. NFL squad will be much different from this.
