McKenna Cup 2024

[Clinker]

And if a person is rich as most on this Board seem to be - then they can look after Club - first - always first - but after - family/friends - and accept the McKenna Cup for what it is and enjoy every last moment of it.

Would Mungo Jerry get played on the radio now - probably more during Championships time in Ireland.

Dodgy stuff.

Cavan 3-6 UUJ 0-5 at half time. Paul O Connor on as a sub, scores 2-1 and then gets a black card as the ref was conned by a Kieran Hughes dive.

St Mary's catch Donegal defence asleep with a goal with 2 minutes left to take the lead. Two more quick points after that.

Donegal 0-8 St Marys 2-6

Awful stuff according to Highland commentary

All over 0-8 to 2-6

Donegal kick the game away.

No McKenna Cup this year!

Down are not good .
I assume that was not full strength as Fermanagh were missing quite a few

How did Fermanagh line out? Any newbies look like they could make an impact this season? In fairness, I see that Quigley and Corrigan started and they'd be our two main forwards.  McCusker and Mulrone also played and they'd also be two starters.

First class any craic and more importantly an online boost for Derry  Pity they lost the game 1-16 to 4-6. That first penalty looked generous too

Down had a few starters but pretty much that would be it
Kane,Mooney,Boyle,o Hanlon,McGovern would have played championship last year
The rest will not play any league football this year even
Not good enough
Fermanagh looked will drilled

Played well but down were poor
Missing R Jones, clucker, cassidy, donnelly, ocallaghan , o brien, r corrigan, tracey of the top of my head from last year's main team.
Ryan hannah looked decent as did conal Jones around the middle. Breen played well in defence. Quigley and Corrigan looked sharp which is good as we need to hit the ground running against Derry

Hard to tell really but down didn't really look that bothered if I am being honest

That was a joke of a decision for the first penalty, great save at the feet of the Derry man. Good to get another result over our northern 'friends' even though it was a Mickey mouse game. Nine points down at half time and to come back (especially conceding a goal so late) was satisfying. Double figure wides and conceding four goals need to be ironed out. Very young team out again so happy to see a bit of fighting spirit.

Have a look at the low, side view of the penalty incident on this new video from the game. It shows that the keeper got an awful lot of the player. I know the other angle shows that he touched the ball first but it's still a penalty for most referees..

2.4 to 1.5 at ht so I make that 2 points in it. First penalty was completely justified and a correct call.

Whilst Tyrone weren't 9 points down at half time, they were shortly before it.  Humiliating for Derry to lose a home game when 9 points up.  Great stuff!

Erm, lads, remember Armagh 2014. Keep yer powder dry for a while.

You're in a healthy place when you're living off another counties victory in the McKenna cup.
