McKenna Cup 2024

I ll wait to Saturday to book anything, cant imagine that hotels will be that full this weekend so I am really only looking for a recommendation. Have stayed in too many flea pits over the years.
I doubt this game will actually go ahead this weekend, but if it does we`ll be there.

I stayed in this B&B for the weekend. Really sound owner and located in Bogside so only short walk to city ctr. Nice rooms and I think the price was good...

I was looking forward to the season starting this weekend but its looking unlikely at this stage.

[Lazer]

I doubt if the match is going to go ahead, although i was looking forward to my weekend in Derry.

Tower hotel very nice and usually reasonable too
Travellodge next to teh city hotel is proably reasonable too

[Trevor Hill]

I really cant see any games going ahead this weekend. Temperatures are expected to drop to -10 in places tonight and wont get much above freezing during the coming days.

[armaghniac]

Not only the low temperatures but snow is expected for Saturday night/Sunday.

Any parts of the province in decent shape? Fermanagh?

[mylestheslasher]

Nope. Was -10 in Monaghan at 8am this morning which is just ridiculous.

On the Ulster Council's GAA website there is just a blank page.  Does this mean there are no games this weekend?

Can anyone tell us?

[Denn Forever]

Apologies to the Ulster Council.  The page evenually gave the information.  There are no indications of fixture this week.  Here it is for the Breffnimen anyway.  Good website.

According to the Down website, downgaa.net;

Due to the current adverse weather conditions and the predicted weather forecast for the next five days, the Round 1 fixtures in the Barrett Sport Lighting Dr McKenna Cup scheduled for this weekend have been postponed.

Yea it's saying the same on the Ulser GAA website now

[thewanderer]

aLL OFF, that rules out a big crowd for the fermanagh match as its moved to Cross, prob not too many north armagh attendees to the cold climates of S ARMAGH

lads mckenna cup full programme surely has to be in doubt - can you see a pitch being playable next sunday - forecast for the next week aint good - we have had a week of constant -3/4 at nite, with snow - and little sun with a max daily temp of 2/3.

if next sundays games arent played i think the comp could be void - or finals played in 3week league gap - but a dont think managers would want that distraction.
