McKenna Cup 2024

[JUst retired]

The final is next Sat.night in Armagh. Throw in 7.30.pm.

Great start for Malachy O'Rourke and Monaghan, it may only be the McKenna Cup but he has had a good look at a range of players while mantaining the balance of the regular spine of the team. 3 very convincing wins in the group has been furthered by yesterdays win and importantly, they came from behind to do so. Shows confidence and mentality.

The league will be a big test and very important to secure promotion before the championship. Long way to go but a positive start.

To be honest I think Tyrone will hockey them in the final.

tyrone didnt hockey fermanagh. they might beat monaghan but not hockey them.

To be fair given the conditions an 8 point win is getting close. Tyrone migt have been brutal but its still a big win. Unless there's forwards missing wouldn't hold out much hope for Fermanagh this year. Offered very little up front.

I'm due to be up in Letterkenny for a christening this Saturday. Can't see myself making it to Armagh for Sat night. Is there any hope it could be put on til Sunday just for me?

Seriously is there much snow up there this week?

What's the latest on Block's injury?
I wonder will Mickey field his strongest team for the final or continue to mix and match.

There won't be much snow by Saturday, but a storm is a coming.

Pretty 50 50 game on Saturday with that team. I'd imagine Monaghan will play a fairly experienced team and sounds like they would all like to get the medal. Tyrone have 6 players starting who are in their first year of county football. McNamee also only played one game in his 1st year last year due to injury. Its good to see the players getting the opportunity and hopefully they can deliver a performance.

In recent years I've felt the new players coming into the team just haven't had the same fight as the old guard. So would like to see the new players really going for it. Again I'd also have liked to have seen someone different in midfield cause just don't think Cavanagh and Kane will work against a stronger team but both offer a lot going forward.

Would also like to see a we bit more from Mattie Donnelly going forward. When he plays for Tyrone he operates very defensively. I'd like to see him tracking back but also getting forward and getting a few scores.

You'd have to strongly fancy big dick clerkin & owen lennon to clean up in the middle of the park there
Paul Finlay kicking the free's. McManus & you Kieran Hughes will ask a few questions of Tyrones full back line

Monaghan looked fit the last day, finished the game very strongly v's Down

11/4 tasty price.

[GrandMasterFlash]

Finlay starts for Monaghan: http://www.hoganstand.com/monaghan/ArticleForm.aspx?ID=184294

Never mind that, the young Clones rookie gets the nod at fullback for the unenviable task of marking SON, handy..

[Maguire01]

Looking at those teams, Monaghan should have a decent chance.
