McKenna Cup 2024

[drici]

Nothing live on TG4 this weekend?

The Dr. McKenna Cup is called Rugbaí Beo now on TG4.
Might get a few extra at St Pauls out of it.

Any word on how Martin Finn is playing for London? Wind playing much of a factor?

See Mickey Harte writing about your mate in the paper ar maidin.

Handy enough looking team

By my reckoning, Colm Watters hasn't played club football in about three years. would it not make more sense to let the lad try and get a season of club football under his belt?

[Mid Down Gael]

Down v St. Marys scheduled for tonight has been cancelled due to a frozed pitch and will now be played on Sat. 22nd Jan.

[Sure,hit it yourself Ref!]

Have heard some reports that all the games are off. Can anyone shed any light on this?

[GAA_Punter]

ALL MATCHES OFF

[sandwiches_in_the_boot]

Games to be replayed over Jan 22nd and 23rd. Means very likely mid week semis before Jan 29th final

[Tyrone Dreamer]

Suprised they've called them all off so quickly. Think it gives sunny and 5 or 6 degrees tomorrow. Could be hard to get the competition completed if they continue with this policy.

Overnight snow has melted in South Armagh, I'd say Crossmaglen pitch would have been fine tomorrow at 2. Disappointing.

[omagh_gael]

That's a very strange call altogether. There's no frost left round Omagh now and it doesn't give a particularly cold night tonight. Disappoited, was looking forward to my first football fix of the year!

[ardasell]

Plenty of snow in Killeavy - but hardly a flake in Crossmaglen - these boys are fierce quick on the draw - I blame Sludden - just for the craic.

[Tyrone Dreamer]

Not sure what the pitch is like in Omagh but you'll not get any nicer a day in January for a game than it is today.

Murtagh added to Armagh squad
07 January 2011

John Murtagh has been added to Armagh's Dr McKenna Cup squad after returning from a three-year stint in New York. The Crossmaglen native, who hasn't been in the Orchard County squad since 2008 but impressed for New York in the unlucky defeat to Galway in last year's Connacht championship, is a nephew of Armagh selector Donal Murtagh who is understood to have played a role in facilitating his return to the fold.
None of the Crossmaglen contingent are currently with the county squad due to their involvement in the All-Ireland club championship, but talented forward Murtagh will be available to Armagh until after next weekend's All-Ireland club quarter-final against Neasden Gaels at least.
"John has come home and we're going to take a look at him over the next few weeks," Armagh manager Paddy O'Rourke said in The Irish Daily Mirror. "We'll give him a chance to stake a claim for a place in the panel for the league. It depends how he goes. Gareth O'Neill (Dromintee) is in the same position, having returned from Australia."

The Ulster GAA website has Armagh down to play St Mary's next Wednesday night in the Athletic Grounds? Do any of the Armagh posters know whether this has been confirmed? I had been told that the Athletic Grounds wouldn't be ready in time for any McKenna Cup fixtures. There's nowhere else in the county able to hold a floodlit fixture??
