[Rois]

Nope, been rescheduled for Feb. 

[Itchy]

Is this game going ahead tonight?
Serious amount of rain down here in Dublin the last week

If you spent less time ranting you'd know the game wasn't on till 19th and its not being played in Dublin.

Tyrone GAA
Refixed McKenna Cup Final Tyrone v Cavan confirmed for next Wednesday, 19th February, at Brewster Park Enniskillen at 8pm

Given the weather it's as well the final was moved back a week. Can see Harte mixing it up a bit and giving boys a chance who might not get as much time in the league. Could see mcnamee, the Mckennas, pj lavery, mcneice, mcbride, Hughes and coney if still fit all starting.

Would be a good reward for the younger players early season work to get the first trophy of the year.

McMahon brothers ready to return
17 February 2014

The McMahon brothers, Justin and Joe, are set to give Tyrone a double boost by returning to action in the near future.
Full back Justin has recovered from a long-standing hamstring problem to put himself in contention for a starting place against Cavan in Wednesday night's rescheduled McKenna Cup final, while older sibling Joe is also on the comeback trail from a groin injury.

"Justy did his first full session last week, it was good to see him back on the pitch. He has been working away all along on his own," Tyrone trainer Fergal McCann explained to the Irish News.

"Joey has been doing the exact same. He's getting on really well in the rehab over the last couple of weeks, so that's positive news for us as well.

"We'll go session by session with Justy, and we're waiting on Joe to get back into collective training. But Justy is looking stronger with each session, and he should hopefully be very much part of the plans for the McKenna Cup final.

"Joe is still a couple of weeks away yet. We're not going to be rushing anybody in, when they're ready to go, they're going to be good to go."

Assume the team will be named tomorrow night. Can see it being experimental enough with boys we did well during the McKenna cup getting games. Will be interested to see what he does with the sigerson boys who I think play Friday. Could cause a row if he plays them. Mattie d was captain for most of it so would be nice for him to be captain in final but in my opinion should be rested. If they are rested I'd guess a team like this
Oneill
Mcrory
Clarke
Mcnamee
McKenna
Harte
McCann
Grugan
Mcbride
McKenna
McGuigan
Lavery
McNeice
Cavanagh
Mccurry

Yeah Id be shocked if Sigerson lads were involved. No chance of that really. Ronan O'Neill, Mattie Donnelly, & Conor McAliskey should all be omitted.

Id say he will reward a lot of the younger lads who earned the final appearance, with a starting slot. Redhands 15 ought to be close.

Would also be a good opportunity to introduce from the bench some of the returning players who are in need of game time - Kyle Coney, Dermot Carlin & Justin McMahon.

Tyrones squad is looking the best it has in a long time.  Excited to see Coney and Justy back after years of injury disruption, hope they both get a bit of luck over the next few seasons.
