Very little chat here about the weekends games. Anyone going to the Tyrone and Donegal game?

[Tyrone Dreamer]

Hope to go if it goes ahead (early talk of snow for Friday/Saturday). These two normally serve up decent games in the McKenna Cup - was a real good game in Ballybofey on a Wednesday night last year.

You'd imagine Harte will name some sort of team tomorrow. Based on the panel it should be strong enough. Looking forward to seeing Cassidy and McCaul back in the McKenna Cup. Also to seeing how Coney and McNabb are developing. Will also be interesting to see what sort of shape the older players are in.

See the Ulster GAA have announced Admission Prices for the McKenna Cup

10 Euros/9 Sterling
5 Pound/Euro for OAPS - Students

Steep!

It really is a joke. Surely they should provide an incentive to get the crowds in for these games. A fiver for an adult and £3 for student/OAP entrance would have much more appeal to the average joe after an expensive Christmas.

How much is entry for O'Byrne etc?

They will be clapping themselves on the back for this one - they have never offered a student rate before to my memory...

[Banana Man]

the down game in croker against dublin in the national league is €45!!! and they are saying it's great value for money as it's a double header, i couldn't see too many down men heading to that at those prices with half the county out of work and diesel at £1.33 per litre, they have lost the run of themselves

[fitzroyalty]

€45, that is ridiculous. Think the only league game I'll make an effort to see is Armagh v Down, saying Athletic Grounds don't seem to be finished any time soon.

[Donnellys Hollow]

It's not €45 for an individual game. That price is a package deal for all of the Dublin league double headers in Croke Park which seems like a decent enough price to me.

oh is it, i must have picked it up wrong, i just scanned over the article on hoganstand.

Tell me this then, as I am  down fan i don't care about dublin's other 3 league gams, what price is each individual game, i don't think it gave the price for that...

[laoisgaa]

Under 16 entry to all McKenna Cup matches will be free of Charge. Supporters with a disability will also receive free entry to the games and are asked to apply to their county committee for access. UlsterGAA are also introducing a student concession rate in 2011-a valid indate student card must be shown at stiles for this to be applicable

Prices for 2011 - General: €10/£9; Concession: €5/ £5 (students and OAPs)

I don't think individual prices have been released yet. I'd anticipate something in the region of €15 - €20. Probably the latter considering it's a double header.

O'Rourke opts for experience

16 December 2010

Armagh manager Paddy O'Rourke has named an experienced squad for the McKenna Cup, insisting that he cannot afford the luxury of experimenting with young talent.
With a tough National League Division 1 campaign to come in the springtime, O'Rourke wants to have a settled team in place, although he will have to plan without members of Crossmaglen's Ulster club championship winning team for the first few rounds at least.
"I am very conscious of the first round of the National League on February 5. I don't care whether you are an experienced player or not, everybody needs game-time," he said in The Irish News.
"We need to get our players ready for that and that is what we are using the McKenna Cup for. We want everyone in the panel to get at least two games so that no-one is going into the National League feeling ring-rusty."
Goalkeeper Paul Hearty is the only Crossmaglen player named in O'Rourke's squad, while 2009 All-Ireland minor winner Rory Grugan will have the chance to impress. Ronan Clarke is included after an injury-wreaked 2010, as is Ryan Henderson, who has been playing for Belfast Celtic in the Irish League of late.

Armagh (McKenna Cup squad): C Clarke, R Clarke, K Dyas, A Duffy, P Duffy, J Feeney, R Grugan, P Hearty, R Henderson, J Lavery, S McDonnell, P McEvoy, C McKeever, D McKenna, G McParland, M Mackin, A Mallon, B Mallon, V Martin, F Moriarty, G O'Neill, M O'Rourke, G Swift, K Toner, C Vernon, C Watters.
